15 Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
16 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
organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
17 The guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the 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 0.915 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**.
18 As SAR is measured utilising the device's
highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of
this device while operating is typically below that
indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum power required
to communicate with the network.
19 * The tests are carried out in accordance with EN
50360:2001; EN 50361:2001.
20 ** Please see page 53 about body worn
operation.
21 Please read the safety precautions carefully to
ensure the correct and safe use of your wireless
device. For detailed information, refer to the
22 section “Warnings and Precautions”.

Switch off in explosive environments.
Only use approved accessories.
