This model 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
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 ICNIRP SAR limit for
mobiles devices used by the general public is 2 W/kg and the
highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was
0.88 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.
2
In this case, the highest tested SAR value is
0.63 W/kg.
1
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
level required to reach the network.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that
improvements to this product model could cause differences in
the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are
designed to be within the guidelines.

SAR Data
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.

1. The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for
testing. The limit incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. Additional related information includes the Motorola
testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty
range for this product.
