Health and Safety Information 121Kingdom made such a recommendation inDecember 2000. In this report, a group ofindependent experts noted that no evidenceexists that using a cell phone causes braintumors or other ill effects. Their recommendationto limit cell phone use by children was strictlyprecautionary; it was not based on scientificevidence that any health hazard exists.Additional information on the safety of RFexposures from various sources can be obtainedfrom 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 RadiationProtection: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)Certification InformationYour wireless phone is a radio transmitter andreceiver. It is designed and manufactured not toexceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency(RF) energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.These FCC RF exposure limits are derived fromthe recommendations of two expertorganizations: the National Council on RadiationProtection and Measurement (NCRP) and theInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations weredeveloped by scientific and engineering expertsdrawn from industry, government, and academiaafter extensive reviews of the scientific literaturerelated to the biological effects of RF energy.The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wirelessmobile phones employs a unit of measurementknown as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption ofRF energy by the human body expressed in units
