Instruction manual

xxiv
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2 W/kg. As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on
the body as described in this user guide*.
Highest SAR value:
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting
power the actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses
the minimum level required to reach the Network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note
that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so
by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free device to
keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.

important notes regarding body-worn operation.

Values are measured in accordance with international guidelines
for testing.
