MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international
guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg)*. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device transmitting at
its highest certified well below the maximum value. This is
because the device is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base
station, the lower the power output of the device. power level in
all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
