Sar (International) - Siemens 1168 Owner's Manual

THIS PHONE MEETS
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone 1168 is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is de-
signed and manufactured not to ex-
ceed the limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) recommended by
international guidelines (ICNIRP).
These limits are part of comprehen-
sive guidelines and establish permit-
ted levels of RF energy for the gener-
al population. The guidelines 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 measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorp-
tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stat-
ed in the international guidelines is
2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are con-
ducted using standard operating po-
sitions 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

SAR (international)

lower the power output of the
phone.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone 1168 when tested for use at
the ear is 0.97 W/kg. While there
may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the
relevant international guidelines for
RF exposure.
*
The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten grams of body tissue. The guide-
lines incorporate a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in
measurements. SAR values may vary de-
pending on national reporting requirements
and the network band. For SAR information
