INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE/
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LIMITS
SET BY THE EU (1999/519/EC) FOR PRO-
TECTION OF THE HEALTH OF THE PUB-
LIC FROM THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE
TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
These limits are part of comprehensive rec-
ommendations for the protection of the pub-
lic. The recommendations were developed
and confirmed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits
include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regard-
less of age and health.
Before a radio equipment may be placed on
the market, compliance with the European
laws and the respective technical limit
requirements must be demonstrated. Only
then the CE mark may be affixed**. The limit
for mobile phones recommended by the
Council of the European Union employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. This SAR limit is
2.0 W/kg***. This corresponds with the
requirements of the International Commis-
sion for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
ICNIRP and was adopted into the European
Norm for Mobile Radio Equipment EN
50360. The SAR of mobile phones is deter-
mined in accordance with the European
Norm EN 50361. This involves measuring
the maximum value in all frequency bands of
the mobile phone with the phone transmit-
ting at its highest power level. The actual
SAR level of the phone during normal opera-
tion 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 net-
work. 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
0,73 W/kg****.
The SAR information can also be found on
the Siemens web site at
While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, all Siemens products meet the
legal requirements.

phones.

** The CE mark confirms that the product
is in compliance with the legal require-
ments of the European Union as a pre-
requisite for the placing on the market
and the free movement of goods within
the European internal market.
