Care and safety information SAR
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this
device when tested at the ear was 1.25 W/kg

. As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in
this user guide

.
As SAR is measured utilising the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR
of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum level required to reach the network. The World Health organisation has
stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your
exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a "hands-free"
device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
