energy defined by the international standards. These recommendations have been
established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) and, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) that
forecast a substantial safety margin for assuring the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement unit
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the
ICNIRP for the mobile phones used by the general public is 2.0W/kg averaged
over ten grams of tissue and, is 1.6W/kg averaged over one gram of
tissue by IEEE Std 1528 for the head.
Tests for SAR have been conducted using recommended operating positions with
the mobile 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 levels of the mobile phone while operating are generally
below the maximum SAR 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.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the international protection standards for
exposure to radio waves.
The highest SAR value for this Philips S329 model phone when tested
W/kg, for ICNIRP recommendation.
SAR is measured against head and with the device at a separation of 5mm to the
body, while transmitting at the highest certified output power level in all frequency
bands of the mobile device.
For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is recommended to reduce the mobile
phone call duration or to use a headset. The purpose of those precautions is to
take the mobile phone away from the head and the body.
