SAR information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by the European Union (EU) Council. These limits are part of
. Do not end
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards that were developed by
independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of measurement known as
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the EU Council is 2.0 W/kg. The
highest SAR value for this model phone was 0.901 W/kg.
