SAR Information
S AR C o mpli a nc e
Your device is designed not to exceed the limits of emission of radio waves
recommended by international guidelines.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is the measurement of body-absorbed RF quantity
when the device is in use. SAR value is ascertained according to the highest RF level
generated during laboratory tests.
The SAR value of the device may depend on factors such as proximity to the network
tower, or use of accessories.
The SAR value of the device at the head and body are 1.12 W/kg and 1.50 W/kg
respectively averaged over 1 gm of human tissue.
S AR Re c ommenda ti ons
Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power Bluetooth
emitter.
Keep your calls short and use SMS whenever more convenient. This advice applies
especially to children, adolescents and pregnant women.
Prefer to use your handset when the signal quality is good.
People having active medical implants should preferably keep the handset at least
15 cm away from the implant.
Maintain a preferable distance of 15 mm from the device.
T h e F C C Ad vice
Many people mistakenly assume that using a cell phone with a lower reported SAR value
necessarily decreases a user’s exposure to RF emissions, or is somehow “safer” than using
a cell phone with a high SAR value. While SAR values are an important tool in judging the
maximum possible exposure to RF energy from a particular model of cell phone, a single
SAR value does not provide sufficient information about the amount of RF exposure under
typical usage conditions to reliably compare individual handset models.
W orl d H eal th O rg an izat ion ( W H O ) Ad vice
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug
Administration have stated that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure
they could use a hands-free device to keep the handset away from the head and body
during phone calls, or reduce the amount of time spent on the phone.
