SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE DATA
THIS MODEL WIRELESS HANDHELD MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless handheld is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. 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 organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile handhelds 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
are conducted using standard operating positions with the handheld 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
handheld while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the handheld 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 wireless
base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a wireless handheld model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and shown to be within the SAR limits adopted by European countries,
under the recommendations of the International Commission on Non-Ionising
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear) as required by The Council of the European Union for each
model. The highest SAR value for these handheld models when tested for use at
the ear is 0.77 W/kg (6710)/0.75 W/kg (6720) and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.30 W/kg (6710)/0.38W/kg (6720) . (Body-worn
measurements differ among wireless handheld and phone models, depending
upon available accessories). While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various wireless devices and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for safe exposure.
