Health and safety information
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
exposure limits for radio frequency (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.
