relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For more  
information on SAR, please refer to the safe and efficient  
use chapter in the User Guide.  
Radio Wave Exposure and Specific  
Absorption Rate (SAR) Information  
The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this  
phone model when tested for use by the ear is 0.74 W/kg*,  
and when worn on the body is 0.81 W/kg* for speech and  
0.92 W/kg* for data calls. Body worn measurements are  
made while the phone is in use and worn on the body with  
a Sony Ericsson accessory supplied with or designated for  
use with this phone. It is therefore recommended that only  
Ericsson and Sony Ericsson original accessories be used in  
conjunction with Sony Ericsson phones.  
Mobile Phone GSM 850/900/1800/1900  
United States & Canada  
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE  
WITH THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR  
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.  
The IS11S mobile phones have been designed to comply  
with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio  
waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and  
receiver. It is designed to not exceed the limits* of exposure  
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by governmental  
authorities. These limits establish permitted levels of RF  
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based  
on standards that were developed by international scientific  
organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of  
scientific studies. The standards include a safety margin  
designed to assure the safety of all individuals, regardless  
of age and health.  
**Before a phone model is available for sale to the public  
in the US, it must be tested and certified by the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) that it does not  
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted  
requirement for safe exposure*. The tests are performed  
in positions and locations (i.e., by the ear and worn on the  
body) as required by the FCC for each model. The FCC has  
granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone model  
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance  
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be  
differences between the SAR levels of various phones, all  
mobile phones granted an FCC equipment authorization  
meet the government requirement for safe exposure. SAR  
information on this phone model is on file at the FCC and  
fcc.gov/oet/ea after searching on FCC ID PY7A5880013.  
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular  
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of  
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate  
(SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized  
methods with the phone transmitting at its highest  
certified power level in all used frequency bands. While  
there may be differences between the SAR levels of  
various phone models, they are all designed to meet the  
49  
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website  
For more information on SAR, please refer to the safety  
chapter in the User’s Guide.  
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for  
mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram  
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard  
incorporates a margin of safety to give additional  
protection for the public and to account for any variations  
in measurements.  
SAR data information for residents in countries that have  
adopted the SAR limit recommended by the International  
Commission of Non-lonizing 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 tested by Sony  
Ericsson for use at the ear is 0.92 W/kg (10g).  
** This paragraph is only applicable to authorities and  
customers in the United States.  
Radio Frequency (RF) exposure and  
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)  
Europe  
This mobile phone model IS11S has been designed to  
comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure  
to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific  
guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure  
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.  
When your phone or Bluetooth handsfree is turned on, it  
emits low levels of radio frequency energy. International  
safety guidelines have been developed through periodic  
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These  
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave  
exposure. The guidelines include a safety margin designed  
to assure the safety of all persons 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 standardized  
methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified  
power level in all used frequency bands.  
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure radio  
frequency energy absorbed by the body when using  
a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the  
highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but  
because the phone is designed to use the minimum power  
necessary to access the chosen network, the actual SAR  
level can be well below this value. There is no proof of  
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of  
various phone models, they are all designed to meet the  
relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
