THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVE S
Your mobile phone 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 and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the phone 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 level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone 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 phone.
This highest SAR value for this Philips 330/CT3308 model phone when tested for use
at the ear is 0.764 W/kg @ 10g. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the relevant
international guidelines for RF exposure.

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy
recommended by The Council of the European Union. 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 limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of

In general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power output.
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 Philips 330/CT3308 model when tested for
compliance against the standard was 0.764 W/kg @ 10g. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
