INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE / SPE-

CIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL

GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO

WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and

receiver. It is designed not to exceed the lim-

its for exposure to radio waves recommend-

ed by international guidelines. These

guidelines were developed by the independ-

ent scientific organization ICNIRP and in-

clude safety margins designed to assure the

protection of all persons, regardless of age

and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or

SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is

2 W/kg and was adopted into the European

Standard EN 50360 and into other national

standards. The CE mark demonstrates that

the EU requirements are met.
The highest SAR value for this device when

tested at the ear was 0.50 W/kg

. As mobile

devices offer a range of functions, they can

be used in positions other than the head,

such as on the body. In this case, at data

transfer (GPRS) a separation distance of

1.5 cm is required.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's

highest transmitting power, the actual SAR

of this device while operating is typically be-

low that indicated above. This is due to auto-

matic changes to the power level of the

device to ensure it only uses the minimum

level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated

that present scientific information does not

indicate the need for any special precautions

for the use of mobile devices. They note that

if you nevertheless want to reduce your ex-

posure then you can do so by limiting the

length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device

to keep the mobile phone away from the

head and body.

international guidelines for testing.
