SAR – European Union (RTTE)
INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /SPE-
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 or-
ganizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits in-
clude 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 re-
quirements 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 measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. This SAR limit is
2.0 W/kg***. This corresponds with the re-
quirements of the International Commission
for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection IC-
NIRP and was adopted into the European
Norm for Mobile Radio Equipment EN
50360. The SAR of mobile phones is deter-
mined in accordance with the European
Norm EN 50361. This involves measuring
the maximum value in all frequency bands of
the mobile phone with the phone transmit-
ting at its highest power level. The actual
SAR level of the phone during normal opera-
tion may be well below the maximum value.
This is because the phone is designed to op-
erate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the power required to reach the net-
work. 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
0.66 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 le-
gal requirements.

(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27,
Switzerland) states that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for
any special precautions for use of mobile
phones.

** The CE mark confirms that the product is
in compliance with the legal requirements
of the European Union as a prerequisite
for the placing on the market and the free
movement of goods within the European
internal market.
