SAR – Inter-
national
(ICNIRP) 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 ELECTRO-
MAGNETIC FIELDS
Your mobile phone is a radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio frequen-
cy (RF) energy recommended by in-
ternational guidelines from the In-
ternational Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (IC-
NIRP). These limits are part of com-
prehensive guidelines for the protec-
tion 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 sub-
stantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, re-
gardless of age and health.
The exposure limit for mobile
phones employs a unit of measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorp-
tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stat-
ed in the international guidelines is
2.0 W/kg**. Tests for SAR are con-
ducted 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
0.72 W/kg***.

While there may be differences be-
tween the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions,
they all meet the international
guidelines for safe RF exposure.
* The World Health Organization
(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzer-
land) states that present scientific in-
formation does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for
use of mobile phones.
