waves. Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of

independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for
mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The highest tested SAR values for this mobile phone compliance
against FCC standard limit 1.6 W/kg is 0.302 W/kg for body (based on 1.5 cm
distance separation from body to the device) and 0.600 W/kg for head (while the
