INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /SPECIFIC ABSORPTION
RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LIMITS FOR PROTECTION
OF THE HEALTH OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE EFFECTS OF
EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy recommended by international guidelines
from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines for the protection of the public and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the population. The guidelines were
confirmed by independent scientific organisations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure limit for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg**. Tests
for SAR are conducted in all frequency bands using standard
operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest power
level. The actual SAR level of the phone during operation can be
well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the
power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are
to a base station, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at
the ear is
0.35 W/kg***.
