Specific Absorption Rate Data

THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
12Specific Absorption Rate Data
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 organisation
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure 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 ICNIRP SAR limit for
mobiles devices used by the general public is 2 W/kg and the
highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was
0.96 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**. In this case, the highest
tested SAR value is 0.72 W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilising 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.

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.
The World Health Organisation 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.
