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, regard-
less 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 the body as described in
this user guide.**
