Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver.
When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy.
When you communicate with your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level
at which your phone transmits.
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR)
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 scientic
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as Specic 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 head
was 1.29 W/kg*, and when tested at the body was
1.34 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**.
As SAR is measured utilizing 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.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with
EN 50360, EN 50366, EN62479, EN 62311, EN
62209-1, EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation.
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio
frequency radiation (RF) exposure:
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines
the phone must be used with a minimum of 15 mm
separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in
your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline
limits.

Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency
(RF) Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting
their exposure to RF elds, the World Health
Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientic
information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile phones.
If individuals are concerned, they might choose to
limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by
limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’
devices to keep mobile phones away from the head
and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained
from the WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-
emf (WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000).
