Specific Absorption Rate Information

International standards
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS 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 defined by the international standards. These
recommendations have been established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) and, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that forecast a substantial
safety margin for assuring the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement unit known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the ICNIRP for the mobile phones used by the
general public is 2.0W/kg averaged over ten grams of tissue and, is 1,6W/kg averaged over one
gram of tissue by IEEE Std 1528 for the head.
Tests for SAR have been conducted using recommended operating positions with the mobile 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 levels of the mobile phone while operating are generally
below the maximum SAR 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
antenna, the lower the power output.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the international protection standards for exposure to radio waves.
The highest SAR value for this Philips Xenium X810 model phone when tested for compliance against the
standard was 0.315 W/kg for ICNIRP recommendation and 0.858 W/kg for IEEE Std 1528.
For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is recommended to reduce the mobile phone call duration or to
use a headset. The purpose of those precautions is to take the mobile phone away from the head and the
body.
