SAR Information
S A R C o m pl i a n c e
Your device is designed not to exceed the limits of emission of radio waves
recommended by international guidelines.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is the m easurement of body -absorbed RF quantity
when thedeviceis in use. SARvalueis ascertained according tothehighestRFlevel
generated during laboratory tests.
TheSARvalueof thedevice may depend on factors such asproximity tothenetwork
tower, or useof accessories.
TheSAR value of thedevice at thehead and body are 0.44 W/kg and 1.53 W/kg
respectively averaged over 1 gm of human tissue.
S A R R e c o m me nd a ti o n s
Use awireless hand s-freesystem (headphone,headset) with a low powerBluetooth
emitter.
Keep your calls short and useSMS whenever moreconvenient. This advice app lies
especially tochildren, adolescents and preg nant women.
Prefer to useyourhandset when thesignal quality isgood.
People having active medical imp lants should preferably keep thehandset at least
15cm away from theimplant.
Maintain apreferabledistanceof 15mm from thedevice.
T h e FCC Advice
Many peoplemistakenly assumethatusingacell phonewith alowerreported SARvalue
necessarily decreases a user’s exposure to RF emissions, or is somehow “safer” than
using acell phonewith ahigh SARvalue. WhileSARvaluesarean important tool in
judging themaximum possibleexposuretoRF energy from aparticularmodel of cell
phone, a single SARvaluedoes not provide sufficient information about theamount of RF
exposureundertypical usageconditionstoreliably compareindividual handsetmodels.

Administration havestated thatif peopleareconcerned and wanttoreducetheir exposure
