Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you
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 0.681 W/kg*, and when tested at the body was
1.525 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 this user manual**.
As SAR is measured utilis
ing 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.
