recommended by a set of equivalent
international guidelines. This set of
international guidelines was set out
by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), which is in collaboration
with the World Health Organization
(WHO), and the permissible limits
include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and
health condition.
The technical regulations and
international guidelines set out
limits for radio waves as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR, which is
the value of absorbed energy in any
10 grams of tissue over a 6-minute
period. The SAR limit for mobile
phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest
SAR value for this mobile phone
when tested for use near the head is
1.415W/kg
(*2)
and when worn on the
body is 0.416 W/kg
(*3)
. There may
be slight differences between the
SAR levels for each product, but
they all satisfy the limit.
The actual SAR of this mobile phone
while operating can be well below
that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power
level of the device to ensure it only
uses the minimum required to reach
the network. Therefore in general,
the closer you are to a base station,
the lower the power output of the
device.
