GENERAL STATEMENT ON RF ENERGY
The phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it
intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The
transmit power level is optimised for best performance and automatically
reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used at
the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output
is very low. Under poor network conditions the phone transmits at a higher
power, may get hot and have a shorter battery life.
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
The phone is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by the ICNIRP. The limits include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines measure the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for
mobile devices is 2W/Kg. This device has been tested and approved to be
lower than the maximum allowed SAR value and the highest result recorded is
1.612W/Kg in the Head position, 10g average.
