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
organizations 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 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 watts/kilogram (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.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.77 W/kg.
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements
and the network band. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in
different SAR values. Additional SAR information may be provided under product
