SAR certification information
This phone meets European Union (EU) requirements
concerning exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured to not exceed the limits for
exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy, as
recommended by the EU Council. 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 the periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin
designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit
of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR limit recommended by the EU Council is 2.0W/
kg.
*
SAR tests are 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, the lower the power output of the phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the
public, compliance with the European R&TTE Directive
must be shown. This directive includes as one of its
essential requirements the protection of the health and
safety of the user and any other person.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tis-
sue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. The SAR values may vary,
depending on national reporting requirements and the network
band.
