Consumer Information 
About Radio Frequency 
Emissions
Your wireless phone, which 
contains a radio transmitter and 
receiver, emits radio frequency 
energy during use. The following 
consumer information addresses 
commonly asked questions 
about the health effects of 
wireless phones.
Are wireless phones safe?
Scientific research on the subject 
of wireless phones and radio 
frequency (“RF”) energy has 
been conducted...

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 phones in the United 
States. Before a wireless phone 
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.” SAR is a measure of the...

that part of the body will absorb 
more RF energy. Wireless phones 
marketed in the U.S. are required 
to meet safety requirements 
regardless of whether they are 
used against the head or against 
the body. Either configuration 
should result in compliance with 
the safety limit.” Also, if you use 
your wireless phone while in a 
car, you can use a phone with an 
antenna on the outside of the 
vehicle. You should also read 
and follow your wireless phone 
manufacturer’s instructions for the...

model. 
The highest SAR value for this 
model phone when tested for use 
at the ear is 1.16 W/kg and when 
worn on the body, as described 
in this user guide, is 1.30 W/kg 
(body-worn measurements differ 
among phone models, depending 
upon available accessories and 
FCC requirements). While there 
may be differences between SAR 
levels of various phones and at 
various positions, they all meet the 
government requirement for safe 
exposure.
The FCC has granted an...

more immune than others to this 
interference noise, and phones also 
vary in the amount of interference 
they generate.
The wireless telephone industry 
has developed a rating system for 
wireless phones, to assist hearing 
device users to find phones that 
may be compatible with their 
hearing devices. Not all phones 
have been rated. Phones that are 
rated have the rating on their box 
or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees.

you or if the person sitting next 
to you can hear what you are 
listening to.
•  Do not turn the volume up to  block out noisy surroundings.
