Safe and Efficient Use 69
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organisations, e.g. ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionising
Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels
of radio wave exposure for the general population.
The levels include a safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health,
and to account for any variations in measurements.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit
of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standardised methods with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all used frequency
bands. The actual SAR level of the mobile phone
while operating can be well below the value stated
below. This is because the mobile phone is designed
to use the minimum power required to reach the
network. Therefore, the closer you are to a base
station, the more likely it is that the actual SAR level
will decrease.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency
exposure guidelines do not mean that there are
variations in safety. While there may be differences
in SAR levels among various mobile phones, all
Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are designed
to meet the relevant guidelines for radio frequency
exposure.
• SAR data information for residents in countries/regions
that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by
the International Commission on Non-Ionising
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is 2 W/kg
averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue (for example
European Union, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand):
The highest SAR value for this model phone
when tested by Sony Ericsson for use at the ear is
0.8 W/kg (10g).
Driving
Please check if local laws/regulations restrict the use
of mobile phones while driving or require drivers to
use handsfree solutions. We recommend that you use
only Ericsson or Sony Ericsson handsfree solutions
intended for use with your product.
