RF Exposure
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. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organisation 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 SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device
when tested at the ear was 0.281 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
