Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure
the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg over 10 g of tissue and the FCC SAR limit for mobile device is
1.6 W/kg over 1 g of tissue. The highest SAR values for this device
when tested in normal usage and body worn are as follows:
• FCC 1g SAR: 1.39 W/kg
• CE 10G SAR: 1.01 W/kg
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting power,
the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below the
limits specified earlier. This is due to automatic changes to the power
level of the device to ensure that it only uses the minimum power
required to communicate with the network.
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields,
the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures — Present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of your
mobile device. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to
limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of
connections, or using 'hands-free' devices to keep your mobile
device away from the head and body.
