compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used 
by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of 
tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give 
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in 
measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting 
requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other

1. What is radio frequency energy 
Radio frequency (RF) energy is another name for radio waves. It is one 
form of electromagnetic energy that makes up the electromagnetic 
spectrum. Some of the other forms of energy in the electromagnetic 
spectrum are gamma rays, x-rays and light. Electromagnetic energy (or 
electromagnetic radiation) consists of waves of electric and magnetic 
energy moving together (radiating) through space. The area where these 
waves are found is called an electromagnetic field.
Radio waves are created due to the movement of electrical charges in 
antennas. As they are created, these waves radiate away from the 
antenna. All electromagnetic waves travel at the speed of light. The major 
differences between the different types of waves are the distances covered 
by one cycle of the wave and the number of waves that pass a certain 
point during a set time period. The wavelength is the distance covered by 
one cycle of a wave. The frequency is the number of waves passing a 
given point in one second. For any electromagnetic wave, the wavelength 
multiplied by the frequency equals the speed of light. The frequency of an 
RF signal is usually expressed in units called hertz (Hz). One Hz equals
