In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations
in measurements.

This mobile phone model IS11S has been designed to
comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure
to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific
guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized
methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phone models, they are all designed to meet the
relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

chapter in the User’s Guide.
SAR data information for residents in countries that have
adopted the SAR limit recommended by the International
Commission of Non-lonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP),
which is 2 W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue (for
example European Union, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand):
The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by Sony
Ericsson for use at the ear is 0.92 W/kg (10g).
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
When your phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned on, it
emits low levels of radio frequency energy. International
safety guidelines have been developed through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure. The guidelines include a safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons and to account for any
variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body when using
a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the
highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but
because the phone is designed to use the minimum power
necessary to access the chosen network, the actual SAR
level can be well below this value. There is no proof of
