Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification
information
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio
frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international
guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent
scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for
mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of
system efficiency and to minimise interference on the network, the
operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased
when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power
output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the
US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people
are concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could
use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away
from the head and body during use, or reduce the amount
of time spent using the device. For more information, visit
and search for your device with the model
number.
