Section 4: Safety Guidelines and Warranty Information
196 4A: Safety
in excess of the guidelines under normal conditions of use. Such
exclusions are not exclusions from compliance, but, rather, exclusions
from routine evaluation. The FCC’s policies on RF exposure and
categorical exclusion can be found in Section 1.1307(b) of the FCC’s
Rules and Regulations [(47 CFR 1.1307(b)].
7. How can I obtain the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value for my
wireless phone?
The FCC requires that wireless phones sold in the United States
demonstrate compliance with human exposure limits adopted by the FCC
in 1996. The relative amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a
wireless telephone-user is given by the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), as
explained above. The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg) in terms of SAR.
Information on SAR for a specific phone model can be obtained for many
recently manufactured phones using the FCC identification (ID) number
for that model. The FCC ID number is usually printed somewhere on the
case of the phone. Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the battery
pack to find the number. Once you have the ID number, go to the
following Web address:
www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
. On this page, you will see
instructions for entering the FCC ID number. Type the FCC ID number
exactly as requested (the Grantee Code is the first three characters, the
Equipment Product Code is the rest of the FCC ID number). Then click
on “Start Search.” The “Grant of Equipment Authorization” for your
telephone should appear. Read through the grant for the section on “SAR
Compliance,” “Certification of Compliance with FCC Rules for RF
Exposure” or similar language. This section should contain the value(s)
for typical or maximum SAR for your phone.
Phones and other products authorized since June 2, 2000, should have
the maximum SAR levels noted directly on the “Grant of Equipment
Authorization.” For phones and products authorized between about mid-
1998 and June 2000, detailed information on SAR levels is typically found
in the exhibits associated with the grant. Once a grant is accessed, the
exhibits can be viewed by clicking on “View Exhibit.” Grants authorized
prior to 1998 are not part of the electronic database but, rather, have been
documented in the form of paper records.
