SAR Information
17 This oricom mobile phone meets the guidelines for exposure to radio waves
The Australian safety standard for electromagnetic emissions (EME) is set by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) and regulated by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
These requirements are set out in the Radio Communications Act 1992 and the Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation - Human Exposure) Standard 2003.
All the applicable safety standards related to radio frequency emissions were complied with during the development of this mobile phone. The limit values are based on scientific directives and include a safety margin in order to guarantee the safety of all persons regardless of age and state of health.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is a unit of measurement used in the standard and it measures the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. SAR values are measured using standardized methods by which the mobile phone works in all the frequency bands used with the highest energy level. Although the SAR values of various phone models can differ, all the models were developed to maintain the relevant directives on radio frequency emissions. The following information applies to residents of countries which, as with Australiasia, have adopted the SAR limit value recommended by the ICNIRP (International Commission on Non−lonizing Radiation Protection) which lies at 2W/Kg (averaged from 10 gram tissue): The highest SAR value measured, averaged over 10g tissue, was < 0.526 W/kg for this mobile phone measured at the ear.
