Exposure to radio frequency energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by
international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines
is 2.0W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower
the power output of the device. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes
as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user
and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.000W/kg.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position
against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5cm away from the body. When a
carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain
metal and should position the product at least 1.5cm away from your body. In order

to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the
network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until
such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are
followed until the transmission is completed. The highest SAR value for this device
when tested for use at the body is 0.000W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0watts/ kilogram (W/
kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band.
FCC SAR information
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio
waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry
Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6W/kg averaged over 1gram of
tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification
for use at the ear is0.00W/kg and when properly worn on the body is0.00W/kg.
Additionally, this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 1cm (0.39 inches) between the users body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1cm
(0.39 inches) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
