For more information on SAR, please refer to
the safety chapter in the User's Guide.
SAR data information for residents in
countries that have adopted the SAR limit
recommended by the International
Commission of Non-lonizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP), which is 2 W/kg
averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue (for
example European Union, Japan, Brazil and
New Zealand):
The highest SAR value for this model phone
tested by Sony Ericsson for use at the ear is
0.67 W/kg (10g).
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver.
When it is turned on, it emits low levels of
radio frequency energy (also known as radio
waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety
guidelines, developed by scientific
organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.),
through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines establish
permitted levels of radio wave exposure for
the general population. The levels include a
safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health,
and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body
when using a mobile phone. The SAR value is
determined at the highest certified power
level in laboratory conditions, but the actual
SAR level of the mobile phone while
operating can be well below this value.
This is because the mobile phone is
designed to use the minimum power required
to reach the network.
