SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR) 
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LI-

MITS SET BY THE EU (1999/519/EC) 

FOR PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH 

OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE EFFECTS 

OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTROMAGNE-

TIC FIELDS
These limits are part of comprehen-

sive recommendations for the pro-

tection of the public. The recom-

mendations were developed and 

confirmed by independent scientific 

organisations through periodic and 

thorough evaluation of scientific stu-

dies*. The limits include a substanti-

al 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 re-

spective technical limit require-

ments must be demonstrated. Only 

then the CE mark may be affixed**. 

The limit for mobile phones recom-

mended by the Council of the Euro-

pean Union employs a unit of 

measurement known as the Specific 

Absorption Rate, or SAR. This SAR li-

mit is 2.0 W/kg***. This corresponds 

with the requirements of the Inter-

national Commission for Non-Ioni-

zing Radiation Protection ICNIRP and 

was adopted into the European 

Norm for Mobile Radio Equipment 

EN 50360. The SAR of mobile pho-

nes is determined in accordance 

with the European Norm EN 50361. 

This involves measuring the maxi-

mum value in all frequency bands of 

the mobile phone with the phone 

transmitting at its highest power le-

vel. The actual SAR level of the pho-

ne 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
0.47 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, Switzer-

land) states that present scientific in-

formation does not indicate the 

need for any special precautions for 

use of mobile phones.
