THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN

COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S 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 0.96 W/kg*,

and when worn on the body is 1.13 W/kg* for speech and

1.32 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 accessory and

worn on the body. For devices which include “WiFi hotspot”

functionality, SAR measurements for the device operating in

WiFi hotspot mode were taken using a separation distance of
