Chapter 30 Specific Absorption Rate
This model phone meets the international requirements for expo-
sure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehen-
sive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substan-
tial 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. Under the guidelines for your phone model, the SAR limit is
2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted based on CENELEC** testing procedure, using stan-
dard 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, it is tested to confirm compliance with

the guidelines. The tests are performed in positions and locations that conform to a uniform
testing methodology determined by an expert standards body. The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.96 W/kg***.
It shall be noted that the SAR level may vary when the phone is modified. In all cases, the
phone has been designed by strictly observing a guideline.
The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is recommended by ICNIRP as 2.0 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
CENELEC is a European standard body.
