THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone 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 model
phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.60 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 for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements. SAR
values may vary depending on national
reporting requirements and the network
band. For SAR information in other
regions please look under product
