CE SAR Information
This device MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. 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 ICNIR 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
SpecificAbsorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 W/
kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Test for body worn SAR, the positions of the device
are at a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body with the device transmitting at its highest
certified powerlevel 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 body is 0.0246 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.
