Care and safety information

SAR

This phone complies with European requirements governing exposure to radio waves. Your phone is a transmitter/receiver. It has been designed and manufactured to comply with radiofrequency energy exposure limits recommended by the Council of the European Union and the ICNIRP for the entire population. These limits were established by independent scientific agencies on the basis of in-depth and regular evaluations of scientific studies. The limits include a large safety margin that is intended to guarantee the safety of all, irrespective of age or state of health.

The exposure standard for phones uses a unit of measure called the SAR, or Specific Absorption Rate. The SAR limit recommended by the Council of the European Union and the ICNIRP is 2 W/kg (*). Tests were conducted on a standardised usage position basis, with the phone transmitting at its maximum level certified in all its frequency bands. Although the standardised measurement is done at maximum power, the real SAR of the phone in use is generally very far below the maximum value.

The phone was designed to operate at the power level strictly neces-sary to ensure communication with the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power at which the phone will transmit.

Validation of conformity with European directive 1999/5 (directive R&TTE) is a pre-requisite for introducing any model of phone onto the market. Protection of health and the safety of the public and the user are a vital requirement of this directive. This model's maximum SAR value measured at the compliance test for use at the ear was 0.53 W/kg. Although differences may exist from one phone to the other and depending on position, all comply with European regulations.

Advice for limiting exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:

Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children’s’ RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.

Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.

(*)The SAR limit for phones used by the general public is 2 watts/kilogram (2 W/kg) on average for 10 g of tissue. This value includes a large safety margin to increase protection and to take account of the variations in measurements. The SAR information may vary in different parts of the world, depending on declared national requirements and the frequency bands used by the network.
