■ Certification information (SAR)

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard 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 using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR of the phone while
operating 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 of the phone.

The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.54 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the relevant international guidelines
for RF exposure.
