Additional safety information
were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the
maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the
network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are
to a network base station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the
device at the ear is 1.27 W/kg.
Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR values
may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band.
