(1) ICNIRP guidelines are applicable in the following areas:
Central America (except Mexico), South & North
Africa, Asia Pacific (except Taiwan, Korea, and
Australia).
(2) European recommendation (1999/519/EC) is
applicable in the following areas: Europe, Eastern
Europe, Israel.
(3) The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is
2 Watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of
body tissue. The international guidelines or European
limit incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL AND EU
REQUIREMENTS 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) energy recommended by International guidelines
(ICNIRP) (1) and by the Council of the European Union
(Recommendation 1999/519/EC) (2). 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 limits 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 or recommended by
the Council of the European Union is 2 W/kg (3). Tests for SAR are
7
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 level 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 antenna, the lower the power output of the phone.
The highest tested SAR value for this model phone for use at the ear
and compliance against the standard is 0.31 W/kg. While there may
be differences between the SAR levels on various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the relevant International guidelines
and EU requirements for RF exposure.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal
operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
