SAR - International (ICNIRP)
INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE
/SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE
LIMITS 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 fre-
quency (RF) energy recommended
by international guidelines from the
International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP). These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines for the
protection of the public and esta-
blish permitted levels of RF energy
for the population. The guidelines
were 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,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure limit for mobile pho-
nes employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, 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 stan-
dard operating positions with the
phone transmitting at its highest
power level. The actual SAR level of
the phone during operation can 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 use at the ear
is
0.67 W/kg***.

While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions,
they all meet the international gui-
delines for safe RF exposure.
* The World Health Organization
(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzer-
land) states that present scientific
information does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for
use of mobile phones.
