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 0.504 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 0.925 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.

notes regarding body worn operation.
