SAR information on this and other model phones can be viewed on-line atwww.fcc.gov/oet/fccid. This site uses the phone FCC ID number A3LSMC9000Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery pack to find the number. Once youhave the FCC ID number for a particular phone, follow the instructions on the websiteand it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone.Additional product specific SAR information can also be obtained at www.fcc.gov/cgb/sar.Consumer Information on Wireless PhonesThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of Questions andAnswers for consumers relating to radio frequency (RF) exposure from wireless phones.The FDA publication includes the following information:What kinds of phones are the subject of this update?The term wireless phone refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in antennas,often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones canexpose the user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because of the shortdistance between the phone and the user¡¯s head. These RF exposures are limited byFederal Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with theadvice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the phone is locatedat greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is drastically lower because aperson¡¯s RF exposure decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the source. Theso-called ¡°cordless phones,¡± which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiringin a house, typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF exposureswell within the FCC¡¯s compliance limits.Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associatedwith using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, that wireless phones areabsolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in themicrowave range while being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in thestand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),exposure to low level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adversehealth effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biologicaleffects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects may occur, but suchfindings have not been confirmed by additional research. In some cases, otherresearchers have had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining thereasons for inconsistent results.What is FDA’s role concerning the safety of wireless phones?Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer productssuch as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medicaldevices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shownto emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such acase, FDA could require the manufacturers of wireless phones to notify users of thehealth hazard and to repair, replace or recall the phones so that the hazard no longerexists.
