SAR certification information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on the safety standards that
were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and through
evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs
a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended
by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

n the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used
by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one
gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public
and to account for any variations in measurements
