SAR Data
This model meets international guidelines for
exposure to radio waves.
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
organization 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 ICNIRP SAR limit for
mobiles devices used by the general public is 2 W/kg and
the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the
ear was 0.89 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.
2
In this case, the
highest tested SAR value is 0.62 W/kg.
1
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 level required to reach
the network
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note
that improvements to this product model could cause
differences in the SAR value for later products; in all
cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines.
The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They
note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can
do so by limiting the length of calls or using a
“hands-free” device to keep the mobile phone away from
the head and body.

1. The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing. The limit incorporates a substantial
margin for safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
