European RF Exposure Information
Your Toshiba phone 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 organisation 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
2W/kg and the SAR value for this device when tested at the ear
was 1.71W/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 tested SAR value is 1.28W/kg.
As SAR is measured utilising the device’s 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 state that if you want to reduce
your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or
