INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /

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

MITS FOR PROTECTION OF THE

HEALTH OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE

EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTRO-

MAGNETIC FIELDS
Your mobile phone is a radio trans-

mitter and receiver. It is designed

and manufactured not to exceed the

limits for exposure to radio frequen-

cy (RF) energy recommended by in-

ternational guidelines from the In-

ternational Commission on Non-

Ionizing Radiation Protection (IC-

NIRP). These limits are part of com-

prehensive guidelines for the protec-

tion of the public and establish

permitted levels of RF energy for the

population. The guidelines were

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.
The exposure limit for mobile pho-

nes employs a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Ra-

te, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the

international guidelines is 2.0 W/

kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted in

all frequency bands using standard

operating positions with the phone

transmitting at its highest power le-

vel. The actual SAR level of the pho-

ne during operation can be well be-

low 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 use at the ear

is
0.47 W/kg***.

While there may be differences bet-

ween the SAR levels of various pho-

nes and at various positions, they all

meet the international guidelines for

safe RF exposure.

* 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.
