include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device
can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power
required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors
such as how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value under the
ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.99 W/kg.
Use of device accessories may result in different SAR values. SAR values may vary
depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band.
Additional SAR information may be provided under product information at
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio
waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry
Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of
tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification
for use at the ear is 1.29 W/kgand when properly worn on the body is 0.92 W/kg.
