How can I find out how much radio frequency energy exposure I can get by using my wireless phone? All phones sold in the United States must comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines that limit radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The FCC established these guidelines in consultation with the FDA and the other federal health and safety agencies. The FCC limit for RF exposure from wireless telephones is set at a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg). The FCC limit is consistent with the safety standards developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement. The exposure limit takes into consideration the body's ability to remove heat from the tissues that absorb energy from the wireless phone and is set well below levels known to have effects. Manufacturers of wireless phones must report the RF exposure level for each model of phone to the FCC. The FCC 86 Safety

How can I find out how much
radio frequency energy
exposure I can get by using my
wireless phone?
All phones sold in the United
States must comply with Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) guidelines that limit radio
frequency energy (RF)
exposures. The FCC established
these guidelines in consultation
with the FDA and the other
federal health and safety
agencies. The FCC limit for RF
exposure from wireless
telephones is set at a Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.6
watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC limit is consistent with
the safety standards developed
by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronic Engineering (IEEE)
and the National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurement. The exposure
limit takes into consideration the
body’s ability to remove heat
from the tissues that absorb
energy from the wireless phone
and is set well below levels
known to have effects.
Manufacturers of wireless
phones must report the RF
exposure level for each model of
