Health and safety information
SAR certification information
This phone meets European Union (EU)
requirements concerning exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transm itter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured to not
exceed the limits for exposure to radio-frequency
(RF) energy, as recommende d by the EU Council.
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 organisations through the
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mob ile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the EU
Council is 2.0 W/kg.
*
The highest SAR value for this model phone was
0.994 W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions with the phone transmit ting 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 m ultiple 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 new model phone is available for sale to the
public, compliance with the European R&TTE
Directive must be shown. This directive includes as
one of its essential requirements the protection of
the health and safety of the user and any other
person.
Precautions when using batteries
Never use a charger or battery that is damaged
in any way.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
If you use the phone near the network’s base
station, it uses less power. Talk and standby time
are greatly a ffected by the signal strength on the
cellular network and the parameters set by the
network operator.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body
tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety
to give additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements. The SAR values may vary,
depending on national reporting requirements and the
network band.
