Guidelines for safe and effi cient use (continued)

Exposure to radio frequency energy

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It
is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by
international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines 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 or health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted
8
using standard operating positions with the device
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
device while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the device 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 device.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with the European R&TTE directive must
be shown. This directive includes as one essential
requirement the protection of the health and the safety
for the user and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for
use at the ear is 1.255 W/kg.
