tem handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
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 or-
ganization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protec-
tion of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as 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 0.997 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 device's highest transmitting power, the ac-
tual 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 power required to communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360, EN 62311, EN
62209-1, EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation.
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation (RF) exposure:
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used
with a minimum of 15 mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure ex-
ceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World
Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individu-
als are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's RF
exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using 'hands-free' devices to keep
mobile phones away from the head and body.
