Specific Absorption Rate Data
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.* Tests for SAR are conducted in accordance with
CENELEC** 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 and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)
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.***
