INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /
SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LI-
MITS FOR PROTECTION OF THE
HEALTH OF THE PUBLIC FROM THE
EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO ELECTRO-
MAGNETIC FIELDS
Your mobile phone is a radio trans-
mitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio frequen-
cy (RF) energy recommended by in-
ternational guidelines from the In-
ternational Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (IC-
NIRP). These limits are part of com-
prehensive guidelines for the protec-
tion of the public and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the
population. The guidelines were
confirmed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific stu-
dies*. The limits include a substanti-
al safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health.
The exposure limit for mobile pho-
nes employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Ra-
te, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the
international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg**.
Tests for SAR are conducted in all fre-
quency bands using standard opera-
ting positions with the phone trans-
mitting at its highest power level.
The actual SAR level of the phone du-
ring operation can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at mul-
tiple power levels so as to use only
the power required to reach the net-
work. In general, the closer you are
to a base station, the lower the po-
wer output.
The highest SAR value for this model
phone when tested for use at the ear
is
0,64 W/kg***.
SAR information can also be found at
www.my-siemens.com. While there
may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at va-
rious positions, they all meet the in-
ternational guidelines for safe RF ex-
posure.
* The World Health Organization
(WHO, CH-1211 Geneva 27, Switzer-
land) states that present scientific in-
formation does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for
use of mobile phones.
