27
model meets the EU requirements for exposure to
28
electromagnetic fields.
29
The SAR (specific absorption rate) regulates a
30
standard value of 2.0W/kg as the average value per
31
10 grams of body tissue, and this mobile phone type
32
has a test value of 1.605 W/kg that complies with the
33
Radio Equipment Directive (RED) 2014/53/EU. The
34
SAR values may vary depending on national

What does IP68 certification mean?
42
The IP68 certification defines that the device is
43
dust-proof, on the one hand, and protected against
44
temporary submersion to a maximum depth of up to
45
1 meter, on the other hand. Obviously, this protection
46
refers to clear water, and there is no protection
47
against, e.g., salt water, soapy water, alcohol or
48
heated liquids. In addition, care must be exercised to
49
ensure that all covers of the device are always tightly
50
closed to prevent water from penetrating inside.
