Safety
The test method uses a tissue-simulating
model of the human head. Standardized
SAR test methodology is expected to greatly
improve the consistency of measurements
made at different laboratories on the
same phone. SAR is the measurement of
the amount of energy absorbed in tissue,
either by the whole body or a small part
of the body. It is measured in watts/kg (or
milliwatts/g) of matter. This measurement is
used to determine whether a wireless phone
complies with safety guidelines.
9. What steps can I take to reduce my
exposure to radio frequency energy
from my wireless phone?
If there is a risk from these products — and
at this point we do not know that there
is — it is probably very small. But if you are
concerned about avoiding even potential
risks, you can take a few simple steps to
minimize your exposure to radio frequency
energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in
how much exposure a person receives,
reducing the amount of time spent using a
wireless phone will reduce RF exposure. If
you must conduct extended conversations
by wireless phone every day, you could place
more distance between your body and the
source of the RF, since the exposure level
drops off dramatically with distance. For
example, you could use a headset and carry
the wireless phone away from your body or
use a wireless phone connected to a remote
antenna. Again, the scientific data does
not demonstrate that wireless phones are
harmful. But if you are concerned about the
RF exposure from these products, you can
use measures like those described above
to reduce your RF exposure from wireless
phone use.
10. What about children using wireless
phones?
The scientific evidence does not show
a danger to users of wireless phones,
including children and teenagers. If you
want to take steps to lower exposure to
radio frequency energy (RF), the measures
described above would apply to children
and teenagers using wireless phones.
