INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /SPECIF-
IC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LIMITS
FOR PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH OF THE
PUBLIC FROM THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and manufac-
tured not to exceed the limits for expo-
sure to radio frequency (RF) energy rec-
ommended by international guidelines
from the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (IC-
NIRP). These limits are part of compre-
hensive guidelines for the protection of
the public and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the population. The
guidelines were confirmed by independ-
ent scientific organisations through peri-
odic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies*. The limits include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safe-
ty of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure limit for mobile phones em-
ploys 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 in all frequency bands using
standard operating positions with the
phone transmitting at its highest power
level. The actual SAR level of the phone
during operation 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.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.56 W/kg***.

While there may be differences between
the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the inter-
national guidelines for safe RF exposure.
* The World Health Organization (WHO,
CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland) states
that present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special pre-
cautions for use of mobile phones.
