Specific Absorption
Rate
(SAR)
Certification
Information
Your
wireless
mobile
device
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
devices
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
devices
to
comply
with
a
safety
limit
of
1.6
watts
per
kilogram
(1
.6
W/kg).
