THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE
EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPO-
SURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone C45 is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is de-
signed and manufactured not to ex-
ceed the limits for exposure to radi-
ofrequency (RF) energy
recommended by The Council of the
European Union. 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 periodic and thorough evalu-
ation of scientific studies. The limits
include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for mobile
phones employs a unit of measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorp-
tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit rec-
ommended by The Council of the
European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests
for SAR have been conducted using
standard operating positions with
the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested fre-
quency 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 an-
tenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, compliance with
the European R&TTE directive must
be shown. This directive includes as
one essential requirement the pro-
tection of the health and the safety
for the user and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone C45 when tested for compli-
ance against the standard was
0.93 W/kg. While there may be dif-
ferences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various posi-
tions, they all meet the EU require-
ments for RF exposure.
