applicable safety requirement for exposure to radio waves. This
requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety
margins designed to assure this safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
• The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized method with the
