11.1 Electromagnetic waves safety information – SAR
Your device is designed to not exceed the radio wave limits recommended
by the European authorities. These limits include safety margins to ensure
the protection of all persons regardless of their age or health.
The SAR (specific absorption rate) of mobile phones quantifies the maximum
level of exposure of the user to electromagnetic waves, for aural use.
European legislation stipulates that the SAR must not exceed 2 W/kg
averaged over 10g of tissue.
The value of the SAR is determined on the basis of the highest level of radio
frequencies emitted during laboratory tests.
The actual value of the SAR during use of the device is lower than this level.
The value of the SAR of the device can vary according to the following
factors: how far/close the device is to a relay antenna, use of accessories
and others.
The maximum SAR level of your device is given in the following table:
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of
0.5cm. This device is in accordance with the regulations regulating the
exposure at radio frequencies when it is used at a minimal distance of 0.5cm
from the body.
NOTE:
i. The SAR value may vary, depending on national reporting and testing
requirements and the network band.
ii. In certain locations such as aircraft, hospitals, service stations and
professional garages or while driving a vehicle, the use of this device
may be forbidden. The electromagnetic waves from the device can
disrupt the performance of electronic devices used in these locations.
Position
SAR value
Head
0.36 W/Kg
Body
1.14 W/Kg

16
Please always abide by any indication, sign or prescription that forbids
the use of mobile phones.
iii. We recommend that you switch off your device or switch it to flight
mode in these locations to avoid interference.
iv. If you use an electronic implant (pacemakers, insulin pumps,
neurostimulators, etc.), please keep a distance of 15cm between the
device and your electronic implant.
v. When using a pedestrian kit, headphones or headset, pregnant
women should keep the device away from their abdomen and
teenagers should keep the device away from their lower abdomen.
Advice to reduce the level of exposure to radiation:
oPlease use your device where reception is good to reduce the quantity
of radiation received (avoid using in an underground car park or when
travelling (train or car)).
oA reception icon indicates the quality of reception on your device. A 4-
full bar display means that reception is good.
