This model phone meets international standards for
exposure to radio waves
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy. 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. Under the guidelines for your phone model, the SAR
limit is 2.0 W/kg.
1
Tests for SAR are conducted in
accordance with CENELEC
2
testing procedures 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, it is
tested to confirm compliance with the guidelines. The tests
are performed in positions that conform to a uniform testing
methodology determined by an expert standards body. The
highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use
at the ear is: 0.78 W/kg.
3
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note
that improvements to this product model could cause
differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases,
products are designed to be within the guidelines.
1 The SAR limit recommended by international guidelines
(ICNIRP) for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit
incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
