Specific Absorption Rate Data

This model handset meets international standards for exposure to radio waves

Your mobile handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Under the guidelines for your handset model, the SAR limit is

2.0W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted in accordance with CENELEC** testing procedures using standard operating positions with the handset 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 handset while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the handset 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, the lower the power output of the handset.

Before a handset model is available for sale to the public, it is tested to confirm compliance with the guidelines. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) that conform to a uniform testing methodology determined by an expert standards body. The highest SAR value for this model handset when tested for use at the ear is:

0.55 W/kg.***
