THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES
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) 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
phones 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 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 of the
phone while operating can be well
below the maximum 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, the
lower the power output of the
phone.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear
is 0.81 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.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones
used by the public is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
grams of body tissue. The guidelines
incorporate a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection
for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. SAR
values may vary depending on
national reporting requirements and
the network band. For SAR
