Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information

THIS DEVICE 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 (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include

a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded

Head SAR

0.079 W/kg

 

 

Body-worn SAR

0.715 W/kg

 

 

During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimise interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.

A body-worn SAR test has been performed on this device with an approved accessory or at a separation distance of 0.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device must be used with the approved accessory or positioned at least 0.5 cm away from the body. If you use an unapproved accessory, ensure that the accessory does not contain any metal components and that it positions the device at least 0.5 cm away from the body.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions when using mobile communication devices. The WHO recommends that you can further reduce your exposure by limiting your use of mobile devices or using

a hands-free kit to keep the device away from your head and body.
