RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE
AND SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter an
d
receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of r
adio
frequency energy (also known as radio waves or r
adio
frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. I
CNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radia
tion
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical a
nd
Electronics Engineers Inc.), through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio w
ave
exposure for the general population.
The levels include a safety margin designed to
assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health,
and to account for any variations in measurem
ents.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency
energy absorbed by the body when using a m
obile
phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest
certified power level in laboratory conditions, but th
e
actual SAR level of the mobile phone while
operating
can be well below this value. This is because the
mobile phone is designed to use the minimum pow
er
required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposu
re
guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safe
ty.
While there may be differences in SAR levels
among
mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models
are designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines.
For residents in countries that have adopted the
SAR limit recommended by the International
Commisssion on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), the highest SAR value for this mode
l phone
when tested by Sony Ericsson for use at the
ear is
0.88 W/kg averaged over ten (10) grams of tissue
.
DRIVING
Please check if local laws and regulations restric
t the
use of mobile phones while driving or require drivers to
use handsfree solutions. We recommend that yo
u use
only Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree so
lutions
intended for use with your product. Please note tha
t
because of possible interference to electronic equipment,
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use
of mobile
phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit
with
an external antenna supports the installation.
Always give full attention to driving and pull off the ro
ad
and park before making or answering a call if d
riving
conditions so require.
