RF Exposure

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exc eed the limits for expo sure to radio waves
recommended by inter national guidelines. These guidelines
were developed by the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins des igned to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurem ent known as Specif ic
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is

2.0 W/kg and the hi ghest SAR value fo r this device when
tested at the ear was 1.48W/kg. As mobile devices offer a
range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such
as on the body as descri bed 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 pow er level of the de vice to ensure it onl y
uses the minimum po wer required to co mmunicate with the
network.

* The tests are carried out in accordance with

EN 62209-1-
