Product Info
limit applicable to iPhone set by the FCC is 1.6 watts per kilogram (W/
kg). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions (i.e.,
at the ear and worn on the body) specied by this agency, with iPhone
transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although SAR is determined at the highest certied power level
in each frequency band, the actual SAR level of iPhone while in operation
can be well below the maximum value because iPhone adjusts its cellular
transmitting power based in part on proximity to the wireless network. In
general, the closer you are to a cellular base station, the lower the cellular
transmitting power level.
iPhone meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for maximum SAR value
on each supported frequency band for cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth
operation, as outlined below:

iPhone’s SAR measurement may exceed the FCC exposure guidelines for
body-worn operation if positioned less than 15 mm (5/8 inch) from the
body (e.g., when carrying iPhone in your pocket).
If you are still concerned about exposure to RF energy, you can further
limit your exposure by limiting the amount of time using iPhone, since
time is a factor in how much exposure a person receives, and by using
a hands-free device and placing more distance between your body and
iPhone, since exposure level drops o dramatically with distance.
