Health and safety
The device meets international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It’s designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were
developed by the International Commission on Non-lonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP),
an independent technical standards body, and include margins designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. These guidelines use a unit of
measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2.0 W/Kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the head was
1.429 W/Kg and when tested for use at the body-worn was 1.021 W/Kg

In SAR measurement, the separation distance between the phone and test device is 5mm.
As SAR is measured when the device is on its highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of
this device while operating normally is typically below the levels shown above. This is
because the device automatically changes its power level 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.
Important safety information
For your own health and safety, please follow the radio frequency (RF) radiation exposure
guidelines and keep your phone no less than 5 mm away from your body.
Failure to do this could mean that your RF exposure exceeds the guideline limits.
How to limit your radio frequency (RF) exposure
The World Health Organization (WHO) gives the following advice to people who want to
limit their exposure to RF radiation…
Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the
use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they may choose to limit their own or
their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to
keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
