Health and safety information

SAR certification information
This phone meets European Union (EU)
requirements concerning exposure to radio
waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured to
not exceed the limits for exposure to radio-
frequency (RF) energy, as recommended by
the EU Council. 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 organisations through
the periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to ensure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit
recommended by the EU Council is 2.0 W/kg.
92
The highest SAR value for this model phone
was 0.679 W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard
operating positions 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 level 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 lower the power output of the
phone.
1. 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 limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety
to give additional protection for the public and to account
1 for any variations in measurements. The SAR values may
vary, depending on national reporting requirements and
the network band.
