SAR

THIS MODEL 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 recommended
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to ensure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the
ear was 1.06 W/kg (*). As mobile devices offer a range of functions,
they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as
described in this user guide (**).
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting
power the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically
below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level
required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions
for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce
your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or
using a 'hands-free' device to keep the mobile phone away from the
head and body. Additional Information can be found on the websites
of the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf)
(*) The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
