Product Safety Information
RF Exposure
General Statement on RF energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits
RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP and include
safety margins designed to ensure 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 the highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the ear was 0.543 W/kg (1) . As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can
be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide.
As SAR is measured utilising 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
power required to communicate with the network.
Body worn operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure.
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a
minimum of 10 mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the
relevant guideline limits.
"The highest SAR value for this mobile phone when tested for use at the body and
compliance against the standard is 0.757 W/kg. While there may be differences between
the SAR levels on various phones and at various positions, they all meet the relevant
International guidelines and EU requirements for RF (radio-waves) exposure"
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health
Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or
using 'hands-free' devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
The tests are carried out in accordance with IEC standard PT62209-1.
