Specific Absorption Rate Data
This model phone meets the government’s
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone 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
organizations 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 phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
Under the guidelines for your phone model, the SAR limit is 2.0
W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted in accordance with
CENELEC† testing procedures using standard operating positions
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at
* The SAR limit recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP)
for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a
substantial margin for safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
† CENELEC is a European Union standards body.
