Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines
(ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population.
The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines 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. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR of the device while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only
the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower
the power output of the device.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE
directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the
health and the safety for the user and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is X.XXX W/kg.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the
ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder
is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product at
least 1.5 cm away from your body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires
a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be
delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are
followed until the transmission is completed.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the body is X.XXX W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/ kilogram (W/kg) averaged over
ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.
FCC SAR information
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio waves
established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada.
