communicate with your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
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 Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the head was 0.506 W/kg*, and when tested at the
body was 1.574 W/kg* with 5 mm distance. As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in the user
manual**.
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 power required to
communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360, EN
50566, EN 62479, EN 62209-1 and EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation in the user manual.
