SAR - International (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

ELECTROMAGNETIC 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

(ICNIRP). These limits are part of

comprehensive guidelines for the

protection of the public and estab-

lish 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

measurement known as the Specific

Absorption Rate, 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 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 0.67 W/kg

may be differences between the SAR

levels of various phones and at

CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland) states

that present scientific information does

not indicate the need for any special

precautions for use of mobile phones.
