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 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
(ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines for the
protection of the public and estab-
lish permitted levels of RF energy for
the population. The guidelines were
confirmed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific
studies 1 . 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
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg 2 . 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 0.67 W/kg 3 .

may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at

CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland) states
that present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special
precautions for use of mobile phones.
