How can I find out how much radio
frequency energy exposure I can get by
using my wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United States must
comply with Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radio
frequency energy (RF) exposures. FCC
established these guidelines in consultation
with FDA and other federal health and safety
agencies. The FCC limit for exposure from
wireless telephones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per
kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is
consistent with the safety standards developed
by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council
on Radiation Protection and Measurement.
The exposure limit takes into consideration the
body’s ability to remove heat from the tissue
that absorb energy from the wireless phone and
is set well below levels known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless phones must report
the RF exposure level for each model of phone
