independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies.The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
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 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over 10 grams of body tissue.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 0.49 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.
The World Health Organization (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).
