Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Read these simple guidelines. Breaking the rules may be

dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this

manual.

Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

information

This mobile phone model C2200 has been designed to comply with

applicable safety requirement for exposure to radio waves.

This requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include

safety margins designed to assure this safety of all persons,

regardless of age and health.

The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of

measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized method with the

phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used

frequency bands.

• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various

LG phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant

guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

The SAR limit recommended by the international Commission on

Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is 2W/kg

averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.

The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for

use at the ear is 1.040 W/kg (10g).

• SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have

adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged

over one (1) gram of tissue (for example USA, Canada, Australia

and Taiwan).
