general population. All Sony Ericsson/Ericsson
mobile phone models are designed to operate within
these stringent levels. The levels include a safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health, and to account for any
variations in measurements.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standardised methods with the mobile phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
used frequency bands, but the actual SAR level of
the mobile phone while operating can be well below
this test value. This is because the mobile phone is
designed to use the minimum power required to reach
the network. Therefore, the closer you are to a base
station, the more likely it is that the actual SAR level
will decrease.
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various mobile phone models, they are all
designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure
to radio waves.
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone
model when tested by Ericsson for use at the ear
is 0.89 W/kg (10g). This international SAR data
information is in accordance with the SAR limit
recommended by the ICNIRP, which is 2W/kg
averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.
DRIVING
Please check if local laws and/or regulations, in the
country/state where you are, restrict the use of mobile
phones while driving.
Law in many countries/states requires drivers to
use a Hands Free solution. If so, it is recommended
that you use Ericsson Portable Hands Free (HPB-10,
HPE-14) only with this mobile phone while driving.
• Always give full attention to driving and pull off the
road and park before making or answering a call if
driving conditions so require.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in
motor vehicles such as car stereo, safety equipment
etc. In addition, some vehicle manufacturers do not
allow use of mobile phones in their vehicles, unless a
Hands Free kit with an external antenna supports the
installation. Check with your vehicle manufacturer's
representative to be sure that your mobile phone will
not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.
