using a cell phone causes brain tumors or other ill effects. Their recommendation to limit cell phone use by children was strictly precautionary; it was not based on scientific evidence that any health hazard exists. Additional information on the safety of RF exposures from various sources can be obtained from the following organizations (updated 10/1/2010): • FCC RF Safety Program: www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/ • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): www.epa.gov/radtown/wireless-tech. html • Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA): www.osha.gov/SLTC/ radiofrequencyradiation/ (Note: This web address is case sensitive.) • National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH): www.cdc.gov/niosh/ • World Health Organization (WHO): www.who.int/peh-emf/en/ • International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection: www.icnirp.de • Health Protection Agency: www.hpa.org.uk/Topics/Radiation/ • US Food and Drug Administration: www.fda.gov/Radiation-EmittingProducts/ RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/ HomeBusinessandEntertainment/ CellPhones/default.htm 14 Important Health and Safety Information Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification Information 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 RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert organizations: the National Council 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. The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless phones to comply with a safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/ kg). The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements. 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 Important Health and Safety Information 15
