111Health And SafetyInformationExposure to Radio Frequency (Rf)SignalsYour wireless phone is a radio transmitter andreceiver. It is designed and manufactured not toexceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.Government. These limits are part ofcomprehensive guidelines and establish permittedlevels of RF energy for the general population. Theguidelines are based on the safety standards thatwere developed by independent scientificorganizations through periodic and throughevaluation of scientific studies.The standards include a substantial safety margindesigned to assure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless phones employsa unit of measurement known as SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by theFCC is 1.6W/kg.**. In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used bythe public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram oftissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety togive additional protection for the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements.
