Certification information (SAR)
THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS 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 
recommended by international guidelines . These guidelines 
were developed by the independent scientific organiation 
ICNIRP and inculde safty margins designed to assure the 
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. 
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of 
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. 
The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for 
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with 
the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in 
all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an 
operating device can be below the maximum value because 
the device is designed to use only the power required to reach 
the network. That amount changes depending on a number of 
factors such as how close you are to a network base station.
