RECYCLING
The symbol means that electrical and electronic products
and batteries must be disposed of at the end of their life
in a separate collection facility. This requirement applies
in the European Union. Do not dispose of these products as unsor-
ted municipal waste.
Always return your used electronic products, batteries, and
packaging materials to dedicated collection points. This way
you help to prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and to promote
the recycling of materials.

11_ SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE
(SAR) CERTIFICATION
INFORMATION
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
(radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by
international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an
independent scientific organization (ICNIRP) and include
a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2.0 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the
ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions
under which it was recorded
SAR (head) 0.099 W/kg (GSM1800)
SAR (body - worn) 0.301 W/kg (GSM900)
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of
system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network,
the operating power of your mobile device is automatically
decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower
the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
A body-worn SAR test has been performed on this device at
a separation distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines
during body-worn operation, the device must be positioned
at least 1.5 cm away from the body.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US
Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are
concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could use
a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from
the head and body during use, or they could reduce the amount of
time spent using the device.
