Rate Data
This model phone meets international standards for
exposure to radio waves
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that 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. Under the guidelines for your phone model, the SAR
limit is 2.0 W/kg. 1 Tests for SAR are conducted in accordance
with CENELEC 2 testing procedures 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.
