RADIO WAVES:
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL 
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 (radio frequency 
electromagnetic fields) recommended by 
international guidelines. The guidelines were 
developed by an independent scientific or-
ganization (ICNIRP) and include a substantial 
safety margin designed to assure the safety of 
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a 
unit of measurement known as the Specific 
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for 
mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard 
operating positions with the device transmit-
ting at its highest certified power level in all 
tested frequency bands. The highest SAR 
values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this 
device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions 
under which it was recorded.
Head SARUMTS 1900 + Wi-Fi + 
Bluetooth1.42 W/kg
Body-worn 
SARGSM 1800 + Wi-Fi + 
Bluetooth 1.41 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this 
device are usually well below the values 
stated above. This is because, for purposes of 
system efficiency and to minimize interfer-
ence on the network, the operating power of 
your mobile device is automatically decreased 
when full power is not needed for the call. 
The lower the power output of the device, the 
lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out 
at a separation distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF 
exposure guidelines during body-worn opera- 
						

							47 tion, the device should be positioned at least 
this distance away from the body.  If you are 
not using an approved accessory ensure that 
whatever product is used is free of any metal 
and that it positions the phone the indicated 
distance away from the body. 
Organizations such as the World Health 
Organization and the US Food and Drug 
Administration have stated that if people are 
concerned and want to reduce their exposure 
they could use a hands-free device to keep the 
phone away from the head and body during 
phone calls, or reduce the amount of time 
spent on the phone

Additional information about electromagnetic 
fields and public health are available on the 
following site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
The World Health Organization (WHO) consid-
ers that present scientific information does not 
indicate the need for any special precautions 
for use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their 
own or their children’s RF exposure by limit-
ing the length of calls, or using “hands-free” 
devices to keep mobile phones away from the 
head and body. (fact sheet n°193). Additional 
WHO information about electromagnetic fields 
and public health are available on the follow-
ing website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf. 
Note: This equipment has been tested and 
found to comply with the limits for a Class B 
digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC 
Rules. These limits are designed to provide 
reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equip-
ment generates, uses and can radiate radio 
frequency energy and, if not installed and 
used in accordance with the instructions, may 
cause harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. However, there is no guarantee that 
interference to radio or television reception, 
which can be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try 
to correct the interference by one or more of 
the following measures: 
						

							48 -   Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-   Increase the separation between the equip-
ment and receiver.
-   Connect the equipment into an outlet on 
a circuit different from that to which the 
receiver is connected.
-   Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/
TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user’s authority to operate 
the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the 
operation of a licensed radio service (e.g. FM 
broadcast), they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC 
Rules.Operation is subject to the following two 
conditions:
(1)  This device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and
(2)  This device must accept any interference 
received. Including interference that may 
cause undesired operation.
Your mobile phone is equipped with a built-in 
antenna. For optimal operation, you should 
avoid touching it or degrading it.
