Specific Absorption Rate Data
SAR Data 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 ICNIRP SAR limit for mobiles devices
used by the general public is 2 W/kg and the
highest SAR value for this device when tested
at the ear was 0.78 W/kg*. As mobile devices
offer a range of functions, they can be used in
other positions, such as on the body as
described in this user guide**. In this case, the
highest tested SAR value is 0.65 W/kg*.
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
ensure it only uses the minimum level required
to reach the network.
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.
93 SAR Data
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.

* The tests are carried out in accordance with
international guidelines for testing. The limit
incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in measurements. Additional

protocol, assessment procedure, and
measurement uncertainty range for this product.
