SAR information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy set by the European Union (EU) Council. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and through
evaluation of scientific studies.

The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of measurement known
as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the EU Council is 2.0 W/
kg. The highest SAR value for this model phone was 0.796W/kg.
