Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification
information
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency
electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organisation
(ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2.0 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with
the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines
for this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded
Head SAR
0.522 W/kg
Body-worn SAR
0.369 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system
efficiency and to minimise interference on the network, the operating
power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power
is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the
lower its SAR value.
A body-worn SAR test has been performed on this device at a
separation distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during
body-worn operation, the device must be positioned at least 1.5 cm
away from the body.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the US Food
