Specific Absorption Rate Data

SAR – European Union (RTTE)

INFORMATION ON RF EXPOSURE /SPECIFIC ABSORPTION

RATE (SAR)

THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE LIMITS SET BY THE EU

(1999/519/EC) FOR PROTECTION OF THE HEALTH OF THE

PUBLIC FROM THE EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS

These limits are part of comprehensive recommendations for the

protection of the public. The recommendations were developed and

confirmed by independent scientific organisations through periodic

and thorough evaluation of scientific studies*. The limits include a

substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all

persons, regardless of age and health.

Before a radio equipment may be placed on the market,

compliance with the European laws and the respective technical

limit requirements must be demonstrated. Only then the CE mark

may be affixed**. The limit for mobile phones recommended by the

Council of the European Union employs a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. This SAR limit is

2.0 W/kg***. This corresponds with the requirements of the

International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection

ICNIRP and was adopted into the European Norm for Mobile Radio

Equipment EN 50360. The SAR of mobile phones is determined in

accordance with the European Norm EN 50361. This involves

measuring the maximum value in all frequency bands of the mobile

phone with the phone transmitting at its highest power level. The

actual SAR level of the phone during normal operation may be well

below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed

to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
