Specific Absorption Rate (ICNIRP)
SAR(ICN IRP)
YOUR MOBILE DEVICE MEETSINTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transm itter and receiver. It is design ed not to
exceed the limit s for exposure to ra dio waves (radio fre quency
electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organization (ICNIRP)
and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 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. The highes t SAR values under the ICN IRP guidelin es for your device
model are listed below:
During use, the actual SAR values for your device are usually well below the
values stated. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to
minimize interfer ence on the net work, the oper ating power of your mobi le
device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call.
The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out using an approved accessory or
at a separation distance of 2.5 cm (1 inch). To meet RF exposure guidelines
during body-worn operation, the device should be in an approved accessory or
positioned at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the body. If you are not using an
approved accessory, ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal
and that it posit ions the phon e at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from th e body.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information
does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile
devices. They recomm end that if you are inte rested in furt her reducing you r
exposure then you can easily do so by limiting your usage or simply using a
hands-free kit to keep the device away from the head and body.

it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if
necessary, suspend the call in heavy trafficor hazardous weather
conditions.
Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look upphone numbers while driving.
Jotting
down a “to do” list or going through your address book takes attention
away from your primary responsibility—driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your
car is not moving or before pulling into traffic.
If you must make a call
while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors,
then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotio nal conversations that may be
distracting.
Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and
suspend conversations that can divert your attention away from the road.
• Use your mobile device to call for help.
Dial 911 or other local emergency
number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies
(wherever wireless phone service is available).
• Use your mobile device to helpothers in emergencies.
If you see an
auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives
are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number (wherever wireless
phone service is available), as you would want others to do for you.
• Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wirel ess
assistance number when necessary.
If you see a broken-down vehicle
posing no serious hazar d, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident
where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number
(wherever wireless phone service is available).
