THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy defined by the international standards. These recommendations have been
established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and, the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that forcast a substantial safety margin for assuring the protection
of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the ICNIRP for the mobile phone used by the general public is
2,0 W/kg averaged over ten grams of tissue and, is 1,6W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue by IEEE Std 1528
for the head.
Tests for SAR have been conducted using recommended operating positions with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR levels of the mobile phone while operating are generally below the maximum SAR
value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power output.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the international protection standards for exposure to radio waves.
