Overview
iPhone has been tested and meets applicable
limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at
which the body absorbs RF energy. Mobile phone
SAR limits are 1.6 watts per kilogram (over a
volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) and
2.0 watts per kilogram (averaged over 10 grams of
tissue), depending on country. During testing,
iPhone radios are set to their highest transmission
levels and placed in positions that simulate use
against the head, with no separation, and near the
body, with 10 mm separation.
To reduce exposure to RF energy, decrease talk
time or use a hands-free option, such as the builtin speakerphone, the supplied headphones, or
other similar accessories.!Carry iPhone at least 10
mm away from your body to ensure exposure
levels remain at or below maximum levels. Avoid
cases with metal parts.

iPhone RF Exposure Statement
iPhone has been tested and meets applicable limits for Radio Frequency (RF) exposure.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) refers to the rate at which the body absorbs RF energy. SAR limits are 1.6
Watts per Kilogram (over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram of tissue) in countries that follow the United
States FCC limit and 2.0 W/Kg (averaged over 10 grams of tissue) in countries that follow the Council of the
European Union limit. During testing, iPhone radios are set to their highest transmission levels and placed in
positions that simulate use against the head, with no separation, and near the body, with 10 mm separation.
To reduce exposure to RF energy, use a hands-free option, such as the built-in speakerphone, the supplied
headphones, or other similar accessories.!Carry iPhone at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure
exposure levels remain at or below the as-tested levels. Cases with metal parts may change the RF
performance of the device, including its compliance with RF exposure guidelines, in a manner that has not
been!tested or certified.
SAR values for this device are available at: www.apple.com/legal/rfexposure/[MODEL]
Although this device has been tested to determine SAR in each band of operation, not all bands are available
in all areas. Bands are dependent on your service provider’s wireless and roaming networks.
