Specic 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 scientic
organization 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 Spe-
cic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this
device when tested was 0.810 W/kg. As mobile devices
offer a range of functions, they can be used in other posi-
tions, such as on the body.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest trans-
mitting power, the actual SAR of this device while operat-
ing 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 com-
municate with the network.
