SAR
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES and the requirements of the EU
Directive 1999/5/EC.
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed radio
wave exposure limits 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.
These guidelines also form the basis of
international regulations and standards on RF
Exposure.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit for wireless devices is
2 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this device
tested at the ear was 0.545 W/kg. The highest
SAR value for this device tested on the body
was 0.525 W/kg.
*1
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices
highest transmitting power the actual SAR of
this unit while operating is typically below that
indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum level required
to communicate with the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that
present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the
use of wireless devices. They note that if you
want to reduce your exposure then you can do
so by limiting the length of calls.
Additional Information can be found on the
websites:

*1 This device was tested for typical
body-worn operation with the back of the
phone kept 1.5 cm from the body.
