Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level,the actual SAR level for the phone
during use is generally much lower than the maximum values.In fact,since mobiles are designed to
operate at many different power levels,they only use the minimum level of power required to
provide a connection to the network.In theory,the closer you are to a base station antenna,the
lower the power level required by the mobile phone.
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and compliance against the
standard is 0.65 W/kg.While there may be differences between the SAR levels on various phones
and at various positions,they all meet the relevant international guidelines and EU requirements
for RF exposure.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for 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.” (fact sheet n°
193).Additional information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the
following site:http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid
touching it or degrading it.

• RADIO WAVES:
Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European Directive 1999/5/EC
(R&TTE) is required of all mobile phone models before they can be put on the market.The
protection of the health and safety for the user and any other person is an essential requirement
of these standards or this directive.
THIS MOBILE PHONE COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS
REGARDING EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter/receiver.It was deigned and manufactured to comply with
the radiofrequency (RF) exposure thresholds recommended by international requirements
(ICNIRP)
(1)
and by the Council of the European Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC)
(2)
.
These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorized radiofrequency levels for
the public.These limits were established by groups of independent experts on the basis of regular
and detailed scientific assessments.They include a significant safety margin intended to ensure the
safety of all,regardless of age or state of health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones is determined by a measurement unit known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or “SAR”.The SAR limit is set by international requirements or by the
Council of the European Union at 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue.
The tests used to determine SAR levels were carried out on the basis of standard usage modes
with the phones transmitting at their maximum power level over the entire range of frequency
bands.
