Certificate Information (SAR)

This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EU) on the
limitation of exposure of the general public to electromag-
netic fields by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the pro-
tection of the general public. These recommendations have
been developed and checked by independent scientific organi-

studies. To guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health, the limits include a significant safety buffer.
Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement
with European laws or limits must be confirmed; only then

The unit of measurement for the European Council's recom-
mended limit for mobile telephones is the "Specific Absorption
Rate" (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg, averaged over 10 g of
body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and
was included in the European Standard EN 50360 for mobile
radio devices. The SAR regulation for mobile telephones is in
line with European Standard EN 62209-1.The maximum SAR
value is calculated at the highest output level in all frequency
bands of the mobile telephone. During use, the actual SAR
level is usually much lower than the maximum value, because
the mobile telephone works in different output levels. It only
transmits with as much output as is required to reach the net-
work. In general the following applies: The closer you are to a
