The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in
the International guidelines or recommended by the Council of the
European Union is 2 W/kg (1). Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the
lower the power output of the phone.
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and
compliance against the standard is 0,77 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.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation,
you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
(1) The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body
tissue. The international guidelines or European limit
incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
