RF Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level
at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is de-
signed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recom-
mended by international guidelines. These guidelines were devel-
oped by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and in-
clude 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 Ab-
sorption 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 1.35 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a range of functions,
they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as
described in this user guide**.
As SAR is measured utilizing 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.
