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

MITS FOR PROTECTION OF THE 

HEALTH OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE 

EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTRO-

MAGNETIC FIELDS 
Your mobile phone is a radio trans-

mitter and receiver. It is designed 

and manufactured not to exceed the 

limits for exposure to radio frequen-

cy (RF) energy recommended by in-

ternational guidelines from the In-

ternational Commission on Non-

Ionizing Radiation Protection (IC-

NIRP). These limits are part of com-

prehensive guidelines for the protec-

tion of the public and establish 

permitted levels of RF energy for the 

population. The guidelines were 

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.
The exposure limit for mobile pho-

nes employs a unit of measurement 

known as the Specific Absorption Ra-

te, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the 

international guidelines is 2.0 W/

kg**. Tests for SAR are conducted in 

all frequency bands using standard 

operating positions with the phone 

transmitting at its highest power le-

vel. The actual SAR level of the pho-

ne during operation can be well be-

low 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 use at the ear 

is
0.47 W/kg***.
SAR information can also be found at 

 

While there may be differences bet-

ween the SAR levels of various pho-

nes and at various positions, they all 

meet the international guidelines for 

safe RF exposure.

* 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.
