Radio Frequency (RF) exposure

THIS DEVICE COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transceiver. It was designed and manufactured to comply with the limits recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP) for exposure to radio waves. These limits are part of a set of guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the population. These guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.

Recommendations for exposure to radio waves use a unit of measurement known as SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*

During tests to determine the SAR value, the phone is used in standard operating positions and operated at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. As the SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual value of the phone during use may be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so that it uses only the power it needs to access a network. In principle, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power output of the phone. Before being marketed, all phone models must be tested to ensure compliance with the European R&TTE

directive. This directive requires compliance with strict rules to ensure the safety of users and the general public and to prevent any health risk. This device meets the guidelines for exposure to radio waves when used either in the normal position, i.e. at the ear, or at a minimum distance of 5 mm from the body.

When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for transportation purposes, it must not contain metal parts and should guarantee a minimum distance of 5 mm between the product and the body. In order to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a connection is possible. Ensure that you follow the instructions relating to the separation distance for establishing the transmission.

• The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines include a safety margin designed to provide additional protection for consumers and to take into account any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements in different countries and according to the network band
