s/w XA16 h/w A790.05 1/18/04 Performance and Safety 161phones and at various positions, they all meet thegovernment requirement for safe exposure. The FCC hasgranted an Equipment Authorization for this model phonewith all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance withthe FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on thismodel phone is on file with the FCC and can be found underthe Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid aftersearching on FCC ID ___ SCHA790S.Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications IndustryAssociation (CTIA) web-site athttp://www.wow-com.com.In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobilephones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averagedover one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates asubstantial margin of safety to give additional protection forthe public and to account for any variations inmeasurements.FDA Consumer UpdateDo wireless phones pose a health hazard?The available scientific evidence does not show that anyhealth problems are associated with using wireless phones.There is no proof, however, that wireless phones areabsolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while beingused. They also emit very low levels of RF when in stand-bymode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects(by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does notproduce heating effects causes no known adverse health
