This device meets international guidelines for exposure to radio waves your mobile device 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 scientic organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientic studies. The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the specic absorption rate, or sar. Although the sar is determined at the highest certied power level, the actual sar of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device 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 is the power output of the device. Sar values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in dierent sar values. The sar limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 W/ kg (watts per kilogram) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. The highest sar value this model phone tested for while in use is:
Gsm 900:0.622W/kg(10g) / Dcs 1800: 0.42W/kg(10g)
