Guidelines for safe and efficient use
The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless devices
employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests
for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC
with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual
100
SAR level of the device while operating
can be well below the maximum value.
Because the device is designed to operate
at multiple power levels to use only the
power required to reach the network, in
general, the closer you are to a wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
Before a device 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
