SAR Information - International
(ICNIRP)
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy defined by the international standards. These recommendations have been
established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) that forcast a
substantial safety margin for assuring the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the ICNIRP for the mobile phone used by the general public is
2.0 W/kg in 10g of tissue for the head.
Tests for SAR have been conducted using recommended 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 level of the mobile phone while operating are generally below the maximum SAR 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 antenna, the lower the power output.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the international protection standards for exposure to radio waves.
The highest SAR value for this CTS900 when tested for compliance against the standard was 0.541 W/kg. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
relevant international guidelines for RF exposure.
For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is recommended to reduce the mobile phone call duration or to use a
headset. The purpose of those precautions is to take the mobile phone away from the head and the body.
