• CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by Industry Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that 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 and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the
Industry Canada is 1.6 W/kg* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the phone 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 phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone
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 phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the
Canadian Standard must be shown. The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.24 W/Kg (3560) and 1.18 W/kg (3520)
and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide is 0.75 W/Kg (3560)
and 0.59W/kg (3520). (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and Industry Canada requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of body tissue. The standard incorporates
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. For
