The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the
European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been 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 level 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
antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European
R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the
protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The highest SAR
value for this model phone when tested for compliance against the standard was 0.63 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten grams of tissue. The limit 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
