RF Exposure
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
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.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR
value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.865 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.
As SAR is measured utilizing 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 power required to communicate with the
network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 62209-1-2006.
