SAR Information
Your wireless Thuraya X5-Touch phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate of SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0
watts/ kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device
can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power
required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors
such as how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value under the
ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the head and body value is 1.865 W/kg and
1.91 W/kg.
Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR
values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the
network band. Additional SAR information may be provided under product information
at www.apsi.co.kr. Although not intended to support operations when body-worn (in this
position the phone can not properly receive and transmit the satellite signal therefore
in this mode of operation it is not practical) the use of bodyworn accessories is limited
to belt-clips, holsters, or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the
assembly and which provide at least 1cm separation between the device, including its
antenna, and your body.
