SAR – International (ICNIRP)
INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE/
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE
LIMITS FOR PROTECTION OF THE
HEALTH OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE
EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTRO-
MAGNETIC FIELDS
Your mobile phone is a radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio fre-
quency (RF) energy recommended
by international guidelines from the
International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines for the
protection of the public and estab-
lish permitted levels of RF energy for
the population. The guidelines were
confirmed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific stu-
dies*. The limits include a substan-
tial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure limit for mobile pho-
nes employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in
the international guidelines is
2.0 W/kg**. Tests for SAR are con-
ducted in all frequency bands using
standard operating positions with
the phone transmitting at its highest
SAR – International (ICNIRP)
power level. The actual SAR level of
the phone during operation 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
lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear
is
0,59 W/kg***

While there may be differences bet-
ween the SAR levels of various pho-
nes and at various positions, they all
meet the international guidelines for
safe RF exposure.

that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions
for use of mobile phones.
