Specific absorption rate document

SAR value: EU - RTTE
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits forfactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy recommended by the Coucil of the European Union. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guide-
lines were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by the Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR have
been 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 antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European RTTE directive must be
shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user
and any other person. The highest SAR value for this Philips 350 / CT 3508 model phone when tested for com-
pliance against the standard was 0.641 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
