Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Certification Information (SAR)
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the exposure limits for radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the U.S. government. These FCC exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations, the National Counsel on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP) and the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases, the recommendations were developed by
scientific and engineering experts drawn from industry, government, and academia after extensive
reviews of the scientific literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
