Health and safety information

SAR certification information

This phone meets European Union (EU) requirements

concerning exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It

is designed and manufactured to not exceed the limits

for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy, as

recommended by the EU Council. These limits are part

of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted

levels of RF energy for the general population. The

guidelines were developed by independent scientific

organisations through the periodic and thorough

evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a

substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety

of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a

unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate

(SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the EU Council is

2.0 W/kg.

1

The highest SAR value for this model phone was

0.219 W/kg.

SAR tests are conducted using standard operating

positions with the phone transmitting at its highest

certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified

power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while

operating 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 of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the

public, compliance with the European R&TTE Directive

must be shown. This directive includes as one of its

essential requirements the protection of the health and

safety of the user and any other person.

1. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0

watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body

tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to

give additional protection for the public and to account for any

variations in measurements. The SAR values may vary,

depending on national reporting requirements and the

network band.
