SAR – European Union (RTTE)
INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE/
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE
LIMITS SET BY THE EU (1999/519/EC)
FOR PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH
OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE EFFECTS
OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNET-
IC FIELDS
These limits are part of comprehensive rec-
ommendations for the protection of the pub-
lic. The recommendations were developed
and confirmed by independent scientific or-
ganisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits in-
clude a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regard-
less of age and health.
Before radio equipment may be placed on
the market, compliance with the European
laws and the respective technical limit re-
quirements must be demonstrated. Only
move may to before the CE mark be af-
fixed**. The limit for mobile phones recom-
mended by the Council of the European
Union employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg***. This cor-
responds with the requirements of the Inter-
national Commission for Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection ICNIRP and was adopt-
ed in the European Norm for Mobile Radio
Equipment EN 50360. The SAR of mobile
phones is determined in accordance with
European Norm EN 50361. This involves
measuring the maximum value in all fre-
quency bands of the mobile phone with the
phone transmitting at its highest power level.
The actual SAR level of the phone during
normal operation may be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone
SAR – European Union (RTTE)
is designed to operate at multiple power lev-
els 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.
The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for compliance against the
norm is
0.699 W/kg****.
The SAR information can also be found on
the Siemens web site at

While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, all Siemens products meet the le-
gal requirements.
