■ Certification information (SAR)
THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR.
The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating
device can be below the maximum value because the device is
designed to use only the power required to reach the network.
That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as
how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR
value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the
ear is 0.56 w/kg.
