INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LI-

MITS SET BY THE EU (1999/519/EC)

FOR PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH

OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE EFFECTS

OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNE-

TIC FIELDS
These limits are part of comprehen-

sive recommendations for the pro-

tection of the public. The recom-

mendations were developed and

confirmed by independent scientific

organisations through periodic and

thorough evaluation of scientific stu-

dies*. The limits include a substanti-

al safety margin designed to assure

the safety of all persons, regardless

of age and health.
Before a radio equipment may be

placed on the market, compliance

with the European laws and the re-

spective technical limit require-

ments must be demonstrated. Only

then the CE mark may be affixed**.

The limit for mobile phones recom-

mended by the Council of the Euro-

pean Union employs a unit of

measurement known as the Specific

Absorption Rate, or SAR. This SAR li-

mit is 2.0 W/kg***. This corresponds

with the requirements of the Inter-

national Commission for Non-Ioni-

zing Radiation Protection ICNIRP and

was adopted into the European

Norm for Mobile Radio Equipment

EN 50360. The SAR of mobile pho-

nes is determined in accordance

with the European Norm EN 50361.

This involves measuring the maxi-

mum value in all frequency bands of

the mobile phone with the phone

transmitting at its highest power le-

vel. The actual SAR level of the pho-

ne during normal operation may 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.
The highest SAR value for this model

phone when tested for compliance

against the norm is
0.47 W/kg****.
The SAR information can also be

found on the Siemens web site at

www.my-siemens.com

While there may be differences

between the SAR levels of various

phones and at various positions, all

Siemens products meet the legal

requirements.

* The World Health Organization

(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzer-

land) states that present scientific in-

formation does not indicate the

need for any special precautions for

use of mobile phones.
