RF/SAR Information
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When switching on, your phone
sends out low-level radio-frequency (RF). Country governments all over the world adopt
state security guidelines developed by independent scientific organisations such as
ICNIRP and IEEE. These guidelines establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to
ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. SAR is the unit of
measurement for absorbed radio quantity when using mobile devices. SAR tests are
conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level, however, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower
the power output of the phone.
The SAR values may vary, depending on different models of phones. To ensure the
safety and health of the users, the phone is designed and manufactured to meet the
radio exposure guidelines. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobiles devices used by the
general public is 2W/kg and highest SAR value for this device is tested for use at the ear
is below the SAR limit recommended by ICNIRP.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2W/kg and the highest SAR value reported under
this standard during product certification for use at the ear is 0.928 W/kg.
