Information
International standards
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 forecast 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 phones used by the general public is
2.0W/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 mobile 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.
The highest SAR value for this PAP5501 model when tested for compliance against the standard
was 1.587 W/kg (10g) for ICNIRP recommendation.
For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is
recommended to reduce the mobile phone call duration or to use a headset. The purpose of those
precautions is to take the mobile phone away from the head and the body.
