Product safety information
RF exposure
General statement on RF energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power
level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
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 ensure 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
and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear
was 0.34 W/kg
(1)
and when tested near the body (at a distance of
10 mm) the highest SAR value was 1.30 W/kg
(2)
.
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.
(1)
The tests are carried out in accordance with[CENELEC EN50360] [IEC
62209-1].
(2)
The tests are carried out in accordance with[CENELEC EN50566] [IEC
62209-2].
SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest transmitting power
and where supported with multiple simultaneous transmitters.
The actual SAR of this device while operating is typically well
below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to
the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum
power required to communicate with the network.
Body worn operation
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone
must be used with a minimum of 5 mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF
exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits and may use
more power than necessary.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to
RF fields, the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the
following advice in Fact Sheet 193 Electromagnetic fields and
public health: mobile phones (October 2014).
Precautionary measures: present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might 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.
Further information on exposure to radio waves can be obtained
from the WHO http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/
