ACA NOTICE

This information is provided for clients who
purchased a Vertu phone for use in Australia.
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 the
Australian Communications Authority (ACA). 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 ACA 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 Australian Standard must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
for use at the ear is 0.3.
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 ten grams 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 to
