Specic 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 scientic

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 Spe-

cic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile

devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this

25

device when tested was 0.819 W/kg. As mobile devices

offer a range of functions, they can be used in other posi-

tions, such as on the body.

As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest trans-

mitting power, the actual SAR of this device while operat-

ing 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 com-

municate with the network.
