Specific Absorption Rate Information
International standards
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL
RECOMMENDATIONS 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 radio frequency
(RF) energy defined by the international standards. These
recommendations have been established by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and, the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that forecast a
substantial safety margin for assuring the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement
unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit
recommended by the ICNIRP for the mobile phones used by the general
public is
averaged over one gram of tissue
Tests for SAR have been conducted using recommended operating
positions with the mobile 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 levels of

2.0W/kg averaged over ten grams of tissue and, is 1,6W/kg
by IEEE Std 1528 for the head.
30 Safety & Precaution
the mobile phone while operating are generally below the maximum SAR
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 t o a base station antenna, the l ower the
power output.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the international
protection standards for exposure to radio waves.
The highest SAR value for this Xenium X523 model phone
when tested for compliance against the standard was 1.21W/kg
for ICNIRP recommendation.
For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is recommended to reduce the
mobile phone call duration or to use a headset. The purpose of those
precautions is to take the mobile phone away from the head and the
body.

Tips & tricks
Optimizing your Philips Xenium battery performance
Here are some steps to help you optimize your Philips
Xenium’s battery performance.
How to optimize the standby and talk time of your phone?
•
Always ensure that your phone profile is
appropriately set to meet your actual usage.
Profile setting significantly impacts the phone’s
battery performance. In general, Outdoor Mode
is the most power-draining setting while Silent
Mode consumes the least amount of power.
•
If you’re using a Xenium phone with a dual SIM
feature, try to activate the 2 SIM cards only
when absolutely necessary. If you are in a
country with single coverage, deactivate the
non-covered SIM to prolong battery usage.
•
If you’re not using applications like Bluetooth,
WIFI, GPS and JAVA, turn them off. And be sure
to lock your phone to prevent accidental
pressing of the keys with the auto-lock feature.
•
Adjust the intensity and duration of your display
screen’s backlight to low or medium level and
for the shortest duration. In general, the lower
the backlight level and the shorter the duration,
the more power you will save.
•
Avoid using or placing your phone near
magnetic objects (eg. a radio or television) or on
metal surfaces, which will impact the network
connection and ultimately drain power from
your battery.
How to extend your battery’s life?
•
Full charging and full running down of your
battery will extend its life. Charge the battery
once the low-battery warning comes on.
•
Temperature will impact battery usage. Over
time, heat will degrade your battery’s
performance. Keep your phone out of the sun
or a hot car. If in low temperature, place your
phone in a warmer place (eg. your pocket), as
battery capacity decreases as the temperature
drops.
•
Always use authentic accessories as they enable
your battery to perform at its peak. Nonauthentic accessories (eg. chargers) can damage
your battery and even your phone.
