INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /SPE-
CIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LIMITS
SET BY THE EU (1999/519/EC) FOR PRO-
TECTION OF THE HEALTH OF THE PUB-
LIC FROM THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
These limits are part of comprehensive rec-
ommendations for the protection of the pub-
lic. The recommendations were developed
and 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, regard-
less of age and health.
Before a radio equipment may be placed on
the market, compliance with the European
laws and the respective technical limit require-
ments must be demonstrated. Only then the
CE mark may be affixed**. The limit for mobile
phones recommended by the Council of the
European Union employs a unit of measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg***. This cor-
responds with the requirements of the Interna-
tional Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection ICNIRP and was adopted into the
European Norm for Mobile Radio Equipment
EN 50360. The SAR of mobile phones is
determined in accordance with the Euro-
pean Norm EN 50361. This involves meas-
uring the maximum value in all frequency
bands of the mobile phone with the phone
transmitting at its highest power level. The
actual SAR level of the phone during normal
operation may 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 compliance against the
norm is
0.73 W/kg****.
The SAR information can also be found on
the Siemens web site at
While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, all Siemens products meet the
legal requirements.

The World Health Organization
(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27,
Switzerland) states that present scien-
tific information does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for
use of mobile phones.

** The CE mark confirms that the product
is in compliance with the legal require-
ments of the European Union as a pre-
requisite for the placing on the market
and the free movement of goods within
the European internal market.
