Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines
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 guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is
2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested
at the head was 0.480 W/kg*, and when tested at the body
was 1.460 W/kg*. The device could be used with a separation
distance of 5 mm to the human body. Users have to adopt a
holster/sleeve/cover without any metal components to
maintain this distance. As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the
body as described in the user manual**.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is
typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic
changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses
the minimum power required to communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360, EN
50566, EN 62479, EN 62209-1 and EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation in the user manual.
