Health and Safety Information 117Additional information on the safety of RF exposures from varioussources can be obtained from the following organizations(updated 10/1/2010):• FCC RF Safety Program:http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/.• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):http://www.epa.gov/radtown/wireless-tech.html.• Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA):http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/.(Note: This web address is case sensitive.)• National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH):http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/.• World Health Organization (WHO):http://www.who.int/peh-emf/en/.• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection:http://www.icnirp.de.• Health Protection Agency:http://www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Radiation/.• US Food and Drug Administration:http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/CellPhones/default.htm.Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) CertificationInformationYour wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It isdesigned and manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits forRadio Frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from therecommendations of two expert organizations: the NationalCouncil on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) andthe Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In bothcases, the recommendations were developed by scientific andengineering experts drawn from industry, government, andacademia after extensive reviews of the scientific literaturerelated to the biological effects of RF energy.The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate ofabsorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units ofwatts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones tocomply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety togive additional protection to the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements.
