What does "SAR" mean?
In 199, the FCC, working with the FDA, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, and other
agencies, established RF exposure safety guidelines
for wireless phones in the United States. Before a
wireless phone model is available for sale to the

established by the FCC. One of these limits is
expressed as a Specific Absorption Rate, or "SAR. "
SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF
energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted
