5. SAR
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This device meets applicable international safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves. The mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by
international guidelines from the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP (International Commission of Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection).
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue and include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with
the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP
guidelines for this device model are:
Head SAR: 0.835 W/kg
Body(5mm) SAR: 1.358 W/kg
During normal use, the SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system
efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the output
power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full
power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the
device, the lower its SAR value.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used against the head
or when positioned at least 1.5 cm away from the body. When a carry
case, belt clip or other form of device holder is used for body-worn
operation, it should not contain metal and should provide at least the
above stated separation distance from the body.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current
scientific information does not indicate the need for any special
precautions when using mobile devices. If you are interested in
