Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information

The handset is designed to comply with safely, requirements for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using a standardized method with

5

the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
