15. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
15.1. Specific Absorption Rate Data
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organizations 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 devices employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international
guidelines is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)*. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device 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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the device 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 of the device.
