INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio waves recommended by in-
ternational guidelines. These guide-
lines were developed by the inde-
pendent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of
all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The guidelines use a unit of meas-
urement known as the Specific Ab-
sorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and was
adopted into the European Standard
EN 50360 and into other national
standards. The CE mark demon-
strates that the EU requirements are
met.
The highest SAR value for this device
when tested at the ear was
0,61 W/kg 1 . As mobile devices offer a
range of functions, they can be used
in positions other than the head,

with international guidelines for testing.
such as directly on the body. In this
case, the limits are met too.
As SAR is measured utilizing the de-
vice's highest transmitting power,
the actual SAR of this device while
operating is typically below that indi-
cated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the de-
vice to ensure it only uses the mini-
mum level required to reach the
network.
The World Health Organization has
stated that present scientific infor-
mation does not indicate the need
for any special precautions for the
use of mobile devices. They note
that if you nevertheless want to re-
duce 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.
