Appendix
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
0.630 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
0.838 W/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 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. Additional Information can be found on the websites of the
World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf).
* The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
** Please see the <FCC RF Exposure Information> section about
body worn operation.
