THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS
GOVERNMENT 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)
energy set by the Australian
Communications Authority (ACA). These
limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on standards
that 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 set by the ACA is 1.6 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.

Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, compliance with the
Australian Standard must be shown. The
highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested for use at the ear is
0.77 W/kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government
requirement for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by
the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of body tissue.
The standard incorporates 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 information in other
regions please look under product
