RF Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
Your mobile device contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your
device, the system handling your call controls the power level at which
your device 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 1.58 W/kg*. As
16
Page 17
mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on 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 62311, EN 62209-1,
IEC 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation.
Body-worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation (RF)
exposure:
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure
exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
17
Page 18
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 does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. 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 devices away from the head and
body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained online from the WHO
fact sheet N°193 at http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/
Regulatory Information
The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as noted.
Please find the Declaration of RoHS Compliance, and EC Declaration of
Conformity in Appendix.
