THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE GOVERNMENTâS REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES.
The Series mobile phones have been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your
wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to
not exceed the limits* of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by governmental authorities. These limits establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by international scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The standards include a safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all individuals, regardless of age and
health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests
for SAR are conducted using standardized methods 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 phone models, they are all designed to meet the
relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For more
information on SAR, please refer to the safe and efficient use
chapter in the User Guide.
The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this
phone model when tested for use by the ear is 0.32 W/kg*, and
when worn on the body is 0.31 W/kg* for speech and 1.40 W/kg*
for data calls. For body-worn operation, the phone has been tested
when positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any
metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when properly used with
an appropriate Sony Ericsson accessory and worn on the body.
For devices which include âWiFi hotspotâ functionality, body-worn
SAR measurements for operation of the device operating in WiFi
hotspot mode were taken using a separation distance of 10mm.
