SAR information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the European Union (EU) Council. These
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the
safety standards that were developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and through evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of
measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set
by the EU Council is 2.0 W/kg
*
.
Risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
* 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.
