SAR Information

SAR Compliance

• Your dev ice is designed not to exceed the lim its of emission of radio waves recommended by inter national guidelines.

• SAR (Sp ecific Absorption Rate) is the measurement of body-absorbed R F quantity when the devi ce is in use. SAR value is ascertained according to the highest RF level gener ated during laboratory tests .

• The SAR v alue of the device may depend on factors su ch as proximity to the network tower, o r use of accessories.

• The SA R value of the device at the head and body are 0. 73 W/kg and 1.18 W/kg respectively averaged over 1 gm of human tissue.

SAR Recommendations

• Use a wirel ess hands-free system (headph one, headset) with a low power Bluetooth emitter.

• Keep you r calls short and use S MS whenever more convenien t. This advice applies especially to children, adolescents an d pregnant women.

• Prefer t o use your handset when the sign al quality is good.

• Peop le having active medical i mplants should pref erably keep the hands et at

least 15 cm away from the i mplant.

• Maint ain a preferable distance of 15 mm from the device.

The FCC Advice Many people mistaken ly assume that using a cell phon e with a lower reported SAR value necessarily d ecreases a user’s exposure to RF emi ssions, or is somehow “safer” than using a cell phone wit h a high SAR value. Whil e SAR values are an important tool in judging the maxi mum possible exposure to RF ener gy from a particular model of cell phone, a single SAR value does not provide sufficient information about the amount of RF exposure under t ypical usage conditio ns to reliably compare in dividual handset models.

World Health Organization (WHO) Advice

Organizations s uch as the World Health Org anization and the US Food an d Drug Administratio n have stated that if people are concern ed and want to reduce their exposure they co uld use a hands-free device to keep th e handset away from the head and body during pho ne calls, or reduce the amount of ti me spent on the phone.
