RF Exposure
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone
transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
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.
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 head was 0.656
W/kg (900M), 0.721 W/kg (1800M) and when tested at the
body was
0.683 W/kg (900M), 0.355 W/kg (1800M)

. 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 Manual.
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.
