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 the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2 W/k
g
. 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*.
Highest SAR value:
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 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 handsfree device to
keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
