Health and safety information121The exposure standard for mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known asSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limitrecommended by the EU Council is 2.0W/kg. 1The highest SAR value for this model phone was1.0 W/kg.SAR tests are conducted using standardoperating positions with the phone transmittingat its highest certified power level in all testedfrequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level,the actual SAR level of the phone whileoperating can be well below the maximumvalue. This is because the phone is designed tooperate at multiple power levels so as to useonly the power required to reach the network.In general, the closer you are to a base station,the lower the power output of the phone.Before a new model phone is available for saleto the public, compliance with the EuropeanR&TTE Directive must be shown. This directiveincludes as one of its essential requirements theprotection of the health and safety of the userand any other person.Precautions when using batteries• Never use a charger or battery that isdamaged in any way.• Use the battery only for its intendedpurpose.• If you use the phone near the network’sbase station, it uses less power. Talk andstandby time are greatly affected by thesignal strength on the cellular network andthe parameters set by the network operator.1. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams ofbody tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial marginof safety to give additional protection for the public andto account for any variations in measurements. The SARvalues may vary, depending on national reportingrequirements and the network band.
