Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

16

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

organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins

designed to assure the protection of all persons,

regardless of age and health.

17

The guidelines use a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.

The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and

the highest SAR value for this device when

tested at the ear was 0.938 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**.

18

As SAR is measured utilising the device's

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 power required

to communicate with the network.

19

* The tests are carried out in accordance with

IEC standard PT62209-1.

20

** Please see page 57 about body worn

operation.

21

Please read the safety precautions carefully to

ensure the correct and safe use of your wireless

device. For detailed information, refer to the

22

section “Warnings and Precautions”.
