What does “SAR” mean? In 1996, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and other agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines for wireless devices in the United States. Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested by the manufacturer and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed limits established by the FCC. One of these limits is expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or “SAR.
Do wireless devices pose any special risks to children? The FDA/FCC website states that “the scientific evidence does not show a danger to users of wireless communication devices, including children.” The FDA/ FCC website further states that “some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless devices at all.” For example, the Stewart Report from the United Kingdom [“UK”] made such a recommendation in December 2000.
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements http://www.ncrponline.org Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, Committee on Man and Radiation (COMAR) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers http://ewh.ieee.org/soc/embs/comar/ (websites current as of November 2018) Consumer Information on SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) This model device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver.

Avoid Potential Hearing Loss Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss.
TIA Safety Information The following is the complete TIA Safety Information for wireless handheld devices. Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal Your wireless handheld portable device is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. When ON, it receives and sends out Radio Frequency (RF) signals. In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless devices.
• Should not carry the device in a breast pocket; • Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference; • Should turn the device OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. Hearing Aids Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider (or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives).
Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially Explosive Atmosphere Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Part 15.105 Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

damage to the battery. It might also cause the deterioration of the battery’s characteristics and cycle life. • Do not use or leave the device in direct sunlight or in a car heated by sunshine. The device may generate excessive heat, smoke, or flame. It also might cause deterioration of device’s characteristics or cycle life. • If the skin or clothes are smeared with liquid from the battery, wash with fresh water. It may cause skin inflammation.
• If you put your device in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle of the device (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip or pen) may short-circuit the device and may cause an explosion. Always cover the receptacle when not in use. • Do not charge while the device or charging cable is wet or contains moisture. This can cause fire, electric shock, injury or damage to the device.
FDA Consumer Update The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health Consumer Update on Mobile Phones: 1. Do wireless devices pose a health hazard? The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that wireless devices are absolutely safe. Wireless devices emit low levels of Radio Frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while being used.
• Cooperate in providing users of wireless devices with the best possible information on possible effects of wireless device use on human health. The FDA belongs to an interagency working group of the federal agencies that have responsibility for different aspects of RF safety to ensure coordinated efforts at the federal level.
4. What are the results of the research done already? The research done thus far has produced conflicting results, and many studies have suffered from flaws in their research methods. Animal experiments investigating the effects of Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposures characteristic of wireless devices have yielded conflicting results that often cannot be repeated in other laboratories.
6. What is the FDA doing to find out more about the possible health effects of wireless device RF? The FDA is working with the U.S. National Toxicology Program and with groups of investigators around the world to ensure that high priority animal studies are conducted to address important questions about the effects of exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) energy.
8. What has the FDA done to measure the Radio Frequency energy coming from wireless devices? The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) is developing a technical standard for measuring the Radio Frequency (RF) energy exposure from wireless devices and other wireless handsets with the participation and leadership of FDA scientists and engineers.
to Radio Frequency (RF) energy, the measures described above would apply to children and teenagers using wireless devices. Reducing the time of wireless device use and increasing the distance between the user and the RF source will reduce RF exposure. Some groups sponsored by other national governments have advised that children be discouraged from using wireless devices at all. For example, the government in the United Kingdom distributed leaflets containing such a recommendation in December 2000.
12. Where can I find additional information? For additional information, please refer to the following resources: FDA web page on wireless devices http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/ RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/HomeBusinessandEntertainment/ CellPhones/default.htm Federal Communications Commission (FCC) RF Safety Program http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety International Commission on Non-lonizing Radiation Protection https://www.icnirp.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. A number of hands-free wireless device accessories are readily available today. Whether you choose an installed mounted device for your wireless device or a speaker phone accessory, take advantage of these devices if available to you. 3. Make sure you place your wireless device within easy reach and where you can reach it without removing your eyes from the road.
10. Call roadside assistance or a special wireless non-emergency assistance number when necessary. Certain situations you encounter while driving may require attention, but are not urgent enough to merit a call for emergency services. But you can still use your wireless device to lend a hand.
