THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS
INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone 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 phones 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 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.

The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.39 W/kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the relevant international
guidelines for RF exposure.
This product meets RF exposure
guidelines when used either in the
normal use position against the ear or
when positioned at least 2.2 cm away
from the body. When a carry case, belt
clip or holder is used for body-worn
operation, it should not contain metal
and should position the product at least
2.2 cm away from your body.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used
by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body
tissue. The guidelines incorporate a
substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in
measurements. SAR values may vary
depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band. For
