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 so as
not to 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
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 SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate). The SAR limit
recommended by the EU Council is 2.0W/kg.
*
The Highest SAR Value for this model phone was
0.741 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.
* 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.
