Hands-Free Kits
Hands-free kits may include audio or Bluetooth® headsets and 
various types of body-worn accessories such as belt-clips and 
holsters. Combinations of these can be used to reduce RF energy 
absorption from cell phones.
Headsets can substantially reduce exposure because the phone 
is held away from the head in the users hand or in approved 
body-worn accessories. Cell phones marketed in the U.S. are 
required to meet RF exposure compliance requirements when

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions 
accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest 
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the 
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. This is because the phone is designed to 
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power 
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to...
