Consumer Information on SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate)
This model phone meets the Government’s
requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency
(RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
These FCC exposure limits are derived from the
recommendations of two expert organizations,
the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and
Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,
the recommendations were developed by scientific
and engineering experts drawn from industry,
government, and academia after extensive reviews
of the scientific literature related to the biological
effects of RF energy.
The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a measure of the rate of
absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed
in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires
wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
