The exposure standard for mobile 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.
1
The highest SAR value for this model phone was
0.673 W/kg
.
SAR tests 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 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,
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 affected by the
signal strength on the cellular network and
the parameters set by the network operator.
1. 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.
