Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2
W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the
ear was 0.711 W/Kg* and in the body position is 0.98W/Kg.
As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum power required to communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields,
the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following
advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose
to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the
length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile
