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 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the ear was 0.651 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 to ensure it only uses the minimum power required
to communicate with the network.
• The tests are carried out in accordance with [CENELEC EN50360] [IEC standard PT62209-1].
