SAR
This mobile phone is SAR accredited adheres to int ernati onal quality benchmarks and
safety measures concerning the harmful impact of radiations. It complies with
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. The radio waves
exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement called Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). SAR is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the body when
exposed to a radio frequency (RF). SAR is usually averaged either over the whole
body, or over a small sample volume (typically 1g or 10g of tissue). The recommended
SAR limit for a mobile handset is 1.6 W/Kg averaged over a volume containing a mass
1g of human tissue.
SAR Value
• Your phone is designed not to exceed the limits of emission of radio waves
recommended by international guidelines.
• SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is the measurement of body-absorbed RF quantity
when the phone is in use. S AR value is asc ertained according to t he highest RF level
generated during laboratory tests.
• The SAR value of the phone may depend on factors such as proximity to the network
tower, use of accessories.
21
SAR Recommendat ions
• Use a wireless hands free system (headphone, headset) with lower Bluetooth
emitter.
• Make sure the cell phone has a low SAR.
• Please keep your cal ls short and use SMS whenever more c onvenient. This advice
applies especially to children and pregnant women.
• Prefer to use your phone when the signal quality is good.
• People having active medical implants should preferably keep the phone at least
