GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio
transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to
radio frequency (RF) recommended
by international guidelines
(ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population.
The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations
through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The
guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless

of age and health.
The exposure standard for
mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device
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 of the
device while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is
because the device 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,
the lower the power output of
the device. Before a phone model
is available for sale to the public,
compliance with the European
R&TTE directive must be shown. This
