Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets
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 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 1.6 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over 1 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.
Use of device accessories and
enhancements may result in
different SAR values. SAR values
may vary depending on national
reporting and testing requirements
and the network band.
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 1.15W/Kg and when properly
worn on the body is 1.43 W/Kg.
