organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age or health. The exposure standard for wireless fixed phoned
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limits set by the FCC are 1.6W/kg. Tests
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting as its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station, the lower the output power.
