Health and safety information
* The SAR limit for mobiles
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.
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.*
The highest SAR value for this
model phone was 0.632 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.
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.
