Don’t rely on your phone for emergency communications.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure

General Statement on RF Energy

Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is
ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate
with your phone, the system handling your call controls the
power level at which your phone transmits.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines
were developed by the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested
at the ear was 1.54 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a range
of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on

12

the body as described in this user guide**.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting

power, the actual SAR of this device 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 power required to communicate with
the network.

* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360, EN
62311, EN 62209-1, EN 62209-2.

** Please see body worn operation.

Body Worn Operation

Important safety information regarding radio frequency
radiation (RF) exposure:

To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the
phone must be used with a minimum of 15 mm separation
from the body.

Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF
exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.

Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF
fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the
following advice:

Precautionary measures: Present scientific information

13

does not indicate the need for any special precautions for

Country

Restrictions

Reason/remark

Bulgaria

General authorization
required for outdoor use
and public service

France

Please don't

outdoors

Military Radiolocation use.
Refarming of the 2.4 GHz
band has been ongoing in
recent years to allow

the use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they
might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure
by limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to
keep mobile phones away from the head and body.

Further information on this subject can be obtained from the
WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf (WHO Fact
sheet 193: June 2000).

21

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.

The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce the
interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer
to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with
the operation of your medical device.

Hospitals
