12.3.1 SAR
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
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
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed
to assure 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 xxx W/kg
offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this user

.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices 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

The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.

ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the
network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile devices.
They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you
can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a 'hands-
free' device to keep the mobile phone away from the head
and body. Additional Information can be found on the

. As mobile devices
RF fields, the World Health Organization (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.
