* The SAR limit for mobiles
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
for any variations in
measurements. The SAR
values may vary,
depending on national
reporting requirements
and the network band.
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.*
The highest SAR value for this model
phone was 0.632 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.
Before a new model phone is
available for sale to the public,
compliance with the European R&TTE
Directive must be shown. This
directive includes as one of its
essential requirements the protection
of the health and safety of the user
and any other person.
