Health and safety information
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
2.0 W/kg.
1
The highest SAR value for this model phone was
0.920 W/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.
1. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. 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.
