Specific Absorption Rate Data

This model phone meets the international standards for
exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on
standards that 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 phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
Under the guidelines for your phone model, the SAR limit is 2.0 W/
1 2
kg. Tests for SAR are conducted in accordance with CENELEC
testing procedures 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 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 phone model is available for sale to the public, it is tested
to confirm compliance with the guidelines. The tests are performed
in positions that conform to a uniform testing methodology
determined by an expert standards body. The highest SAR value
3
for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.92 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental
