European RF Exposure Information
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 1.18 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 0.784 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.
