• If your mobile phone is equipped with an infrared eye,
never direct the infrared ray at anyone’s eye and make
sure that it does not disturb any other infrared units.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE AND
SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio
frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio
frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations*, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection), through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted
levels of radio wave exposure for the general population.
All Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to
operate within these stringent levels. 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 mobile phone. The
SAR value is determined at the highest certified power
level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of
the phone while operating can be well below this value.
This is because the phone is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.
Therefore, the closer you are to a base station, the more
likely it is that the actual SAR level will decrease.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure
guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.
While there may be differences in SAR levels among
mobile phone models, all mobile phone models must be
designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.

SAR can be found on: www.ericsson.com/health
