THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic
fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were
developed by an independent scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded
Head SAR
0.283 W/Kg
Body-worn SAR
0.161 W/Kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the
values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to
minimise interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile
device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call.
The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
A body-worn SAR test has been performed on this device with an approved
accessory or at a separation distance of 0.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines
during body-worn operation, the device must be used with the approved
accessory or positioned at least 0.5 cm away from the body. If you use an
unapproved accessory, ensure that the accessory does not contain any metal
components and that it positions the device at least 0.5 cm away from the
body.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions when using
mobile communication devices. The WHO recommends that you can further
reduce your exposure by limiting your use of mobile devices or using
a hands-free kit to keep the device away from your head and body.
