SAR – Inter-

(ICNIRP)

INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE/

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE

LIMITS 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

studies*. The limits include a sub-

stantial safety margin designed to

assure the safety of all persons, re-

gardless of age and health.
The exposure limit for mobile

phones employs a unit of measure-

ment known as the Specific Absorp-

tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stat-

ed in the international guidelines is

2.0 W/kg**. Tests for SAR are con-

ducted in all frequency bands using

standard operating positions with

the phone transmitting at its highest

power level. The actual SAR level of

the phone during operation 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.
The highest SAR value for this model

phone when tested for use at the ear

is
0.72 W/kg***.

While there may be differences be-

tween the SAR levels of various

phones 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.
