Radio frequency energy
Your phone is a low-power radio transmitter/receiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently
receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The system that handles
the call controls the power level at which the phone transmits.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
• The phone is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to RF energy set by
national authorities and international health agencies.* These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organisations such as ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-ionizing Radiation
Protection) through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health and to account for any variations in measurements.
• *Examples of radio frequency exposure guidelines and standards that the phone is
designed to conform to:
• ICNIRP, Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic and
electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)-International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). Health Physics, vol.74. pp, 494-522, April 1998.
