SAR (European Union)
THIS PHONE MEETS THE EU 
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE 
TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone A50 is a radio 
transmitter and receiver. It is de-
signed and manufactured not to ex-
ceed the limits for exposure to radio 
frequency (RF) energy recommend-
ed by The Council of the European 
Union. These limits are part of com-
prehensive guidelines and establish 
permitted levels of RF energy for the 
general population. The guidelines 
were developed by independent sci-
entific organisations through period-
ic and thorough evaluation of scien-
tific studies. The limits 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 measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorp-
tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit rec-
ommended by The Council of the 
European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests 
for SAR have been conducted using 
standard operating positions with 
the phone transmitting at its highest 
certified power level in all tested fre-
quency 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 an-
tenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for 
sale to the public, compliance with 
the European R&TTE directive must 
be shown. This directive includes as 
one essential requirement the pro-
tection of the health and the safety 
for the user and any other person. 
The highest SAR value for this model 
phone A50 when tested for compli-
ance against the standard was 
0.98 W/kg. While there may be dif-
ferences between the SAR levels of 
various phones and at various posi-
tions, they all meet the EU require-
ments 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 tissue. The limit incorpo-
rates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to ac-
count for any variations in measurements.
SAR values may vary depending on national
reporting requirements and the network
band. For SAR information in other regions
