Additional information
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and
SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transm
itter
and receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low leve
ls
of radio frequency energy (also known as ra
dio
waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNI
RP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The institute of Electric
al and
Electronics Engineers Inc.) through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. T
hese
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wa
ve
exposure for the general population. The levels
include a safety margin designed to assure the
safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to
account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency
energy absorbed by the body when using a m
obile
phone. The SAR value is determined at the hig
hest
certified power level in laboratory conditions, but t
he
actual SAR level of the mobile phone while ope
rating
can be well below this value.
This is because the mobile phone is designed to us
e
the minimum power required to reach the netwo
rk.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency
exposure guidelines do not mean that there are
variations in safety. While there may be differences i
n
SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony E
ricsson
mobile phone models are designed to meet radio
frequency exposure guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this m
obile
phone model is included with the material that com
es
with this mobile phone. This information ca
n also
be found, together with more information on radi
o
frequency exposure and SAR, on
www.SonyEricsson.com.
Driving
Please check if local laws and regulations restri
ct the
use of mobile phones while driving or require drivers
to use handsfree solutions. We recommend that
you
use only Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree
solutions intended for use with your product. P
lease
note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers
forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehic
les
unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna
supports the installation.
Always give full attention to driving and pull
off the
road and park before making or answering a call
if
driving conditions so require.
