THIS PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone A50 is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is de- signed and manufactured not to ex- ceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy recommend- ed by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part of com- prehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent sci- entific organisations through period- ic and thorough evaluation of scien- tific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measure- ment known as the Specific Absorp- tion Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit rec- ommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested fre- quency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone 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 an- tenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the pro- tection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The highest SAR value for this model phone A50 when tested for compli- ance against the standard was
0.98W/kg. While there may be dif- ferences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various posi- tions, they all meet the EU require- ments for RF exposure.
*The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorpo- rates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to ac- count for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other regions please look under product information at
