Certification information (SAR)

This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to

radio waves.

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

organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins designed

to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age

and health.

The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit

of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or

SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0

watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue.

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

actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the
