This model meets international
guidelines for exposure to radio waves
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.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets
RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that contains
no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 15 mm from
the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance
with RF exposure guidelines.
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 0.66 W/kg (10g)*. As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the
body. In the case where the phone is worn directly on the body, the
highest tested SAR value is 0.89 W/kg (10g)*.
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 WHO (World Health Organization) has stated that current
scientific information does not indicate the need for special
precautions for the use of mobile phones. However, if individual
users are concerned, they may choose to limit exposure to
themselves and to their children, by either limiting the length of
calls, or by using headsets or "hands-free" devices to keep the
phone away from their body and head.
