SAR Information

THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO W AVES. Your mobile device is a radi o transm itte r and rec eiver . It is des igned not to exc eed th e lim its for exposu re to radio wave s recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR lim it stated in the ICNIRP guideli nes is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tiss ue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device ca n be b el ow t he m a xi m um va l ue bec aus e th e de vic e is d es i gn ed t o u se o nl y th e po w er required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.788 W/Kg. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band. Additional SAR information can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association (CTIA) website at www.wow-com.com.

 The standard value of SAR is 2.0W/Kg; the maximum SAR of the device is 0.788 W/Kg.  For decreasing the influence of the electromagnetic wave, please use the device carefully.
