• Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a reliable measure of its ability to cause cell damage and is a way of measuring the quantity of radiofrequency (RF) energy that is absorbed by the body.  The LOWER the SAR level, the better for you. The US FCC mandates a Maximum SAR level of 1.6 W/kg for a phone To find SAR info from the manufacturers, contact (within USA):
