Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended
by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR
value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.434 W/ kg*. As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such
as on the body as described in this user guide**. In this case, the highest
tested SAR value is 0.372 W/kg. As SAR is measured utilizing the devices
highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required
to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the
use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure
then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free
device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for
testing.

regarding body worn operation.
