The true SAR level during normal phone usage will be much lower than this level.
The highest SAR value of this device at the head and body are 1.400W/kg and 1.050W/kg respectively averaged over 1.5cm gap of human tissue.
SAR Recommendations
Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power Bluetooth emitter.
Please keep your calls short and use SMS whenever more convenient. This advice applies especially to children, adolescents and pregnant
women
Make sure the cell phone has a low SAR.
Prefer to use your cell phone when the signal quality is good.
People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell phone at least 15 cm away from the implant.
Maintain a preferable distance of 15 mm from the device.
