INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE

/SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE

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

FOR PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH

OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE EFFECTS

OF EXPOSURE TO

ELECTROMAGNETIC 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

studies

. The limits include a sub-

stantial safety margin designed to

assure the safety of all persons, re-

gardless 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 meas-

urement known as the Specific

Absorption Rate, or SAR. This SAR

limit is 2.0 W/kg

. This corresponds

with the requirements of the Inter-

national Commission for Non-Ioniz-

ing Radiation Protection ICNIRP

and

was adopted into the European

Norm for Mobile Radio Equipment

EN 50360. The SAR of mobile

phones 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 level.

The actual SAR level of the phone

during normal operation may be

well below the maximum value.

This is because the phone is de-

signed to operate at multiple power

levels so as to use only the power re-

that present scientific information does

not indicate the need for any special

precautions for use of mobile phones.
