 Sometimes it may be necessary to remove the 

battery pack to find the number. Once you have the FCC ID number for a 
particular phone, follow the instructions on the website and it should 
provide values for typical or maximum SAR for a particular phone.

Consumer Information on Wireless Phones 
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a series of 
Questions and Answers 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 can expose the user to measurable radio 
frequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone 
and the user's head. These RF exposures are limited by Federal 
Communications Commission safety guidelines that were developed with 
the advice of FDA and other federal health and safety agencies. When the 
phone is located at greater distances from the user, the exposure to RF is 
drastically lower because a person's RF exposure decreases rapidly with 
increasing distance from the source. The so-called “cordless phones,” 
which have a base unit connected to the telephone wiring in a house, 
typically operate at far lower power levels, and thus produce RF 

exposures well 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 associated with using wireless phones. There is no proof, however, 
that wireless phones are absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels 
of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. 
They also emit very low levels of RF when in the stand-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 
adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not 
found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some 
biological effects may occur, but such findings have not been confirmed 
by additional research. In some cases, other researchers have had 
difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining the reasons 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 products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it 
does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has 
authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit radio 
frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user. In such a
