Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification
information
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency
electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organisation
(ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices
is 2.0 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with
the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for
this device model is:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded
Body-worn SAR
0.697 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR value for this device is usually well below the
value stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and
to minimise interference on the network, the operating power of your
mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed
for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR
value.
A body-worn SAR test has been performed on this device at a separation
distance of 0.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn
operation, the device must be positioned at least 0.5 cm away from the
body.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the US Food
and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned
and want to reduce their exposure, they could use a hands-free accessory
to keep the wireless device away from the head and body during use, or
reduce the amount of time spent using the device.
