regardless of age and health, and to account for any
variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The
SAR value is determined at the highest certified power
level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating can be well below this value.
This is because the phone is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.
Therefore, the closer you are to a base station, the more
likely it is that the actual SAR level will decrease.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure
guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.
While there may be differences in SAR levels among
mobile phone models, all mobile phone models must be
designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
More information on radio frequency exposure and SAR
can be found on: www.ericsson.com/health.
