it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your
device, the system handling your call controls the power level at which
your device 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 ear was 1.54 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 utilizing 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
