understanding exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy
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
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
to make sure everybody stays safe, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg and the
highest SAR value for this one when tested for use at the ear was 1.11
W/kg (carried out in accordance with EN 62209-1). (Mobiles can, of
course, be used in other positions as described in this guide.)
As SAR is measured at your phone’s highest transmitting power, the
actual SAR of this phone while operating is typically below that indicated
above. This is because it automatically chooses the lowest power level
required to communicate with the network.
