INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)

THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LIMITS SET BY THE EU (1999/519/EC) FOR PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS

These limits are part of comprehensive recommendations for the protection of the public. The recommendations were developed and confirmed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

Before a radio equipment may be placed on the market, compliance with the European laws and the respective technical limit requirements must be demonstrated. Only then the CE mark may be affixed**. The limit for mobile phones recommended by the Council of the European Union employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. This SAR limit is

2.0W/kg***. This corresponds with the requirements of the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection ICNIRP and was adopted into the European Norm for Mobile Radio Equipment EN 50360. The SAR of mobile phones is determined in accordance with the European Norm EN 50361. This involves measuring the maximum value in all frequency bands of the mobile phone with the phone transmitting at its highest power level. The actual SAR level of the phone during normal operation may 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
