European RF Exposure Information
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/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.302 W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices 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 ‘hands-free’ device to keep the
mobile phone away from the head and body. Additional Information can be
found on the websites of the World Health Organization
