independent scientific organisations 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
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. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR of the device while
operating can be 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.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.80 W/kg.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position
against the ear or when positioned at least 2.2 cm away from the body. When a carry case,
belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should
position the product at least 2.2 cm away from your body.
In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the
network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a
connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are followed until
the transmission is completed.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.
