Specific Absorption Rate Data

This model phone meets international
standards for exposure to radio waves
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that 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. Under the guidelines for
your phone model, the SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg.
for SAR are conducted in accordance with CENELEC
testing procedures 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.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it is tested to confirm compliance with the
guidelines. The tests are performed in positions
that conform to a uniform testing methodology
determined by an expert standards body. The highest
SAR value for this model phone when tested for use
at the ear is: 0.74 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the governmental requirements for
safe exposure. Please note that improvements to
this product model could cause differences in the
SAR value for later products; in all cases, products
are designed to be within the guidelines.

guidelines (ICNIRP) for mobile phones used by
the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
