academia after extensive reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects
of RF energy. The exposure limit for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR is a measure of
the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per
kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC exposure limit incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although 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.
Because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels to use only the power
required to reach the network, generally, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established
by the government adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for
each model. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) between the user’s body and the back of the phone. To
comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches
(1.0 cm) must be maintained between the user's body and the back of the phone. Third-
party belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components should
not be used.
Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) separation distance
