SAR information
RF exposure information (SAR)
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) on the limitation of
exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the general
public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by
independent scientific organizations through regular and thorough evaluations of
scientific studies. To guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health, the limits include a significant safety buffer.
Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement with European laws
or limits must be confirmed; only then may the CE symbol be applied.
The unit of measurement for the European Council's recommended limit for mobile
devices is the "Specific Absorption Rate" (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg, averaged
over 10 g of body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The maximum SAR value is
calculated at the highest output level in all frequency bands of the mobile device. The
highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use of
the device at a distance of zero gaps from the body is 1.
8
7 W/kg.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP
exposure guidelines and was included in the European Standard EN 62311 and EN
62209-2 for use with accessories that contain no metal and that position the
handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with ICNIRP exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body worn
accessory and are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset a
minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the device is switched on.
During use, the actual SAR level is usually much lower than the maximum value,
because the mobile device works in different output levels. It only transmits with as
much output as is required to reach the network. In general the following applies:
The closer you are to a base station, the lower the transmission output of your
mobile device.
