INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the lim-
its for exposure to radio waves recom-
mended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independ-
ent scientific organization ICNIRP and
include safety margins designed to assure
the protection of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg and was adopted into the European
Standard EN 50360 and into other national
standards. The CE mark demonstrates that
the EU requirements are met.
The highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the ear was 0.70 W/kg
devices offer a range of functions, they can
be used in positions other than the head,
such as on the body. In this case, at data
transfer (GPRS) a separation distance
of 1.0 cm is required.
1 The tests are carried out in accordance
with international guidelines for testing.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's
highest transmitting power, the actual SAR
of this device while operating is typically
below that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power level of the
device to ensure it only uses the minimum
level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated
that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions
for the use of mobile devices. They note that
if you nevertheless want to reduce your
exposure then you can do so by limiting the
length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device
to keep the mobile phone away from the
head and body.
