CAUTION
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
organisations 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 FCC is
1.6 W/kg
*
. The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the
FCC are GSM 850 Head: 1.13 W/kg, Body-worn: 0.236 W/kg and GSM
1900 Head: 1.16 W/kg, Body-worn: 0.121 W/kg.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin
of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
