INDUSTRY CANADA NOTICE
This information is provided for clients who
purchased a Vertu phone for use in Canada.
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS GOVERNMENT
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) energy set by Industry
Canada. 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. The SAR limit set by the Industry Canada is 1.6
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.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with the Canadian Standard must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 0.45 and when worn on the body, as
described in the user guide, is 0.28.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of body
tissue. The standard incorporates 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 additional SAR information go
