CIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) 
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LIMITS 

SET BY THE EU (1999/519/EC) FOR PRO-

TECTION OF THE HEALTH OF THE PUB-

LIC FROM THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE 

TO ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS
These limits are part of comprehensive rec-

ommendations for the protection of the pub-

lic. 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, regard-

less of age and health.
Before a radio equipment may be placed on 

the market, compliance with the European 

laws and the respective technical limit require-

ments 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 measure-

ment known as the Specific Absorption Rate, 

or SAR. This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg***. This cor-

responds with the requirements of the Interna-

tional 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 Euro-

pean Norm EN 50361. This involves meas-

uring 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 required to reach 

the network. In general, the closer you are to 

a base station, the lower the power output. 
The highest SAR value for this model phone 

when tested for compliance against the 

norm is

0.73 W/kg****.

The SAR information can also be found on 

the Siemens web site at 

While there may be differences between the 

SAR levels of various phones and at various 

positions, all Siemens products meet the 

legal requirements.

The World Health Organization 

(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27, 

Switzerland) states that present scien-

tific information does not indicate the 

need for any special precautions for 

use of mobile phones. 
Further information: 

**  The CE mark confirms that the product 

is in compliance with the legal require-

ments of the European Union as a pre-

requisite for the placing on the market 

and the free movement of goods within 

the European internal market.
