Your device conforms to international guidelines developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These guidelines recommend a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 W/kg of body tissue.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was
0.790 W/kg when held at the ear and 0.438 W/kg when worn on the body.1 In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has stated that the scientific information available at present does not suggest a need for users to take any special precautions to prevent RF exposure when using mobile devices.
