Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency
electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization
(ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile de-
vices is 2 W/kg.
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 highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines
for this device model are:
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of
system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the
operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased
when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power
output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation
distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-
worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this
distance away from the body.
If you are not using an approved accessory, ensure that whatever
product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the phone
the indicated distance away from the body.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the
US Food and Drug Administration have stated that if people are
concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could use a
hands-free device to keep the phone away from the head and body
during phone calls, or reduce the amount of time spent on the
phone.

Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal
operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
