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
0.925 W/kg
Body-worn SAR
0.365 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 and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are
concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could use a
hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the
head and body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent using
the device.
