Tests for SAR have been conducted 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 highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone 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 antenna, the lower the output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person.
This highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for compliance against the standard was: 0.64 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
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: Individuals: 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
