SAR (EU)
This S45i mobile phone complies
with the limits specified by the
European Union (EU) for exposure to
radio waves.
These limits are part of comprehen-
sive guidelines and establish permit-
ted levels of RF energy for the gen-
eral population. The guidelines were
developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The limits include a sub-
stantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, re-
gardless of age and health.
The limits recommended by the
Council of the European Union are
based on a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The limit for this
phone is 2.0 W/kg
*
. SAR tests are
conducted in standard operating po-
sitions 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 of the phone while oper-
ating is usually well below the maxi-
mum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at dif-
ferent power levels so that it only ev-
er uses the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer
you are to a base station antenna,
the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, it must be shown
to comply with the European R&TTE
directive (CE label). This directive
promotes the protection of the
health and the safety for the user
and any other person. The maximum
SAR for this phone, measured ac-
cording to this standard, is
0.95 W/kg. The SAR value for the
S45i can be found on the internet at

. While there
may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the
EU requirements for RF exposure.

*
The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 2.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements. SAR val-
ues may vary according to national require-
ments and network bands. SAR information
for other regions can be found at
