PRODUCT SAFETY INFORMATION
RF exposure
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. 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 0.594 W/kg
and when tested near the body (at a distance of 1.5cm) the
highest SAR value was 0.886 W/kg. 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 guide.
As SAR is measured utilising 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.
Distance of operation
This device model has been tested and meets radiofrequency
exposure guidelines when used as follows:
• Against the ear: Place or receive a device call and hold the
device as you would a wire line telephone.
• Body worn: When transmitting, place the device in a carry
accessory that contains no metal and positions the device a
minimum of 1.5 cm from your body. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with
radiofrequency exposure guidelines. If you do not use a
body worn accessory and are not holding the device at the
ear, position the device a minimum of 1.5 cm from your
body,
• Data operation: When using a data feature, position the
phone a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body for the whole
duration of the data transmission.
