organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg for
Head SAR and Body-worn SAR, and 4 W/kg for Limb
SAR.
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
highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for
this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under
which it was recorded
Head SAR
Body-worn SAR (5 mm)
Limb SAR (0 mm)
During use, the actual SAR values for this phone are
usually well below the values stated above. This is
because, for purposes of system efficiency and to
minimise interference on the network, the operating
power of your phone is automatically decreased when
full power is not needed for the call. The lower the
power output of the phone, the lower its SAR value.

Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a
separation distance of 5 mm. To meet RF exposure
guidelines during body-worn operation, the phone
should be positioned at least this distance away from
the body.
If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that
whatever product is used is free of any metal and that
it positions the phone the indicated distance away
from the body.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation
and the US Food and Drug Administration have stated
that if people are concerned and want to reduce their
exposure they could use a hands-free device to keep
the phone away from the head and
body during phone calls, or reduce the amount of time
spent on the phone.

Your phone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For
optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or
degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can
be used in positions other than against your ear. In
such circumstances the phone will be compliant with
