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 and 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 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 when placed to
the ear is 0.993 W/kg.
