information usage and safety
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.The 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 and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.752 W/kg1. As mobile phone offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user manual2. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.705 W/kg.
1.The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing.
2.For body worn operation, this model phone has been tested and meets the RF exposure guidelines when used with a Samsung- supplied or approved accessory designated for this product or when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body.
As SAR is measured utilising the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a ‘handsfree’ device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
