SAR (EU) | 103 |
|
This S45i mobile phone complies with the limits specified by the European Union (EU) for exposure to radio waves.
These limits are part of comprehen- sive guidelines and establish permit- ted levels of RF energy for the gen- eral population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a sub- stantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, re- gardless of age and health.
The limits recommended by the Council of the European Union are based on a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The limit for this phone is 2.0 W/kg*. SAR tests are conducted in standard operating po- sitions with the phone 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 phone while oper- ating is usually well below the maxi- mum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at dif- ferent power levels so that it only ev- er uses the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be shown to comply with the European R&TTE
directive (CE label). This directive promotes the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The maximum SAR for this phone, measured ac- cording to this standard, is
0.95 W/kg. The SAR value for the
S45i can be found on the internet at
may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.

*The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR val- ues may vary according to national require- ments and network bands. SAR information for other regions can be found at
