THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL

GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO

WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and

receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits

for exposure to radio waves recommended by

international guidelines. These guidelines were

developed by the independent scientific

organization ICNIRP and include safety margins

designed to assure the protection of all

persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or

SAR. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobiles devices

used by the general public is 2 W/kg and the

highest SAR value for this device when tested

at the ear was 0.78 W/kg*. As mobile devices

offer a range of functions, they can be used in

other positions, such as on the body as

described in this user guide**. In this case, the

highest tested SAR value is 0.65 W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices

highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of

this device while operating is typically below

that indicated above. This is due to automatic

changes to the power level of the device to

ensure it only uses the minimum level required

to reach the network.
While there may be differences between the

SAR levels of various phones and at various

positions, they all meet the governmental

requirements for safe exposure. Please note

that improvements to this product model could

cause differences in the SAR value for later

products; in all cases, products are designed to

be within the guidelines.

SAR Data

The World Health Organization has stated that

present scientific information does not indicate

the need for any special precautions for the use

of mobile devices. They note that if you want

to reduce your exposure then you can do so by

limiting the length of calls or using a 'hands-

free' device to keep the mobile phone away

from the head and body.
Additional Information can be found on the

websites of the World Health Organization

(http://www.who.int/emf) or Motorola, Inc.

* The tests are carried out in accordance with

international guidelines for testing. The limit

incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give

additional protection for the public and to account

for any variations in measurements. Additional

related information includes the Motorola testing

protocol, assessment procedure, and

measurement uncertainty range for this product.
