+	  SAR is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency(RF)
+	  absorbed by the body when using a wireless device. The RF exposure
+	  limits used are expressed in the terms of SAR, which is a measure
+	  of the electric and magnetic field strength and power density for
+	  transmitters operating at frequencies from 300 kHz to 100 GHz.
+	  Regulatory bodies around the world require that wireless device
+	  be evaluated to meet the RF exposure limits set forth in the
