European RF Exposure
Information
Your Toshiba phone 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 SAR
limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the SAR value
for your Toshiba phone when tested at the ear was
X.XXXW/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's guide**.
In this case, the tested SAR value is X.XXXW/kg.
As SAR is measured utilising the device's 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 state 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
website of the World Health Organization (http://
www.who.int/emf).
* The tests are carried out in accordance with
international guidelines for testing.

section about body worn operations.
