levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can be well below this value. This is because

the mobile phone is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network. Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are

 

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE AND SAR

 

Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and

 

receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio

 

frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio

 

frequency fields).

 

Governments around the world have adopted

 

comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed

 

by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International

 

Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and

 

IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

 

Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific

 

studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of

designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a minimum of 20 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with the original Sony Ericsson body worn accessory intended for this phone. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
