LIMITING EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) SIGNALS

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 phones 
away from the head and body.

Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page 
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE

•  Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of 

a building).

•  Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as 

microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

•  Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do 

not contain any metal.

•  Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your 

local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) SIGNALS

Your device contains a radio transmitter and 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.

The radiated output power is far below the international radio frequency exposure 
limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted 
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the 
safety standards previously set by international standards bodies:

American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992

•

National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). 

•

Report 86. 1986

International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996

•

Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a 

•

substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, 
regardless of age and health.

Your mobile phone 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 the 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 1.25 W/KG@10g.

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 utilising the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual 
SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above.

  11

12 

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 IEC standard PT62209-1. 
**Please see the following section about body worn operation.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for 
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is 
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to 
the antenna during operation of the equipment.

Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use 
of unauthorised or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the 
phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended 
limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in 
your country.

To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy 
is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your 
device only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the antenna area 
unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with the antenna 
area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power 
level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN 
USE optimises the antenna performance and the battery life.

To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a 
minimum of 1.5 cm separation from the body.

Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding
