THIS PHONE MODEL MEETS
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone SL42/SL45i is a
radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) recommended
by international guidelines (ICNIRP).
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 periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The
guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure standard 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 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 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.
The highest SAR value for this
phone model SL42/SL45i when
tested for use at the ear is
0.89 W/kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the relevant
international guidelines for RF
exposure.
* 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 guidelines incorporate a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection
to the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. SAR values
may vary depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band. For
