125Health and SafetyInformationExposure to Radio Frequency (RF) SignalsYour wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.It is designed and manufactured not to exceed theemission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)energy set by the Federal Communications 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 that weredeveloped by independent scientific organizationsthrough periodic and through evaluation of scientificstudies.The standards include a substantial safety margindesigned to assure the safety of all persons, regardlessof age and health.The exposure standard for wireless phones employs aunit of measurement known as Specific AbsorptionRate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg *.*In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to giveadditional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
