SAR Information

What is SAR?
SAR stands for Specific Absorption Rate which is the unit of measurement for the amount of RF energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below this value.
This is because the phone is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
Therefore, the closer you are to a base station, the more likely it is that the actual SAR level will be lower.
What is SAR-Tick ?

The SAR-Tick label is part of an effort by the Mobile & Wireless Forum to help consumers learn more about national and international exposure standards for their mobile phone or wireless device.

- 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 organization (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 2 W/kg.
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 highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
Head SAR : 0.414 W/Kg
Body SAR : 0.962 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 interference 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 0.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be positioned at least this distance away from the body.
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could use a hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the head and body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent using the device. - Note:The maximum SAR value listed above is the value recorded for the latest version of this handset.
Earlier versions may have different measured SAR values, which are detailed in the User Manuals that accompany those handsets.

While mobile communications are certainly transforming our lives with the enormous benefits that they provide, we recognize that some people would like to learn more about the health and safety aspects of these technologies. Therefore the MWF (Mobile & Wireless Forum) has recently released a video on the issue and you can download a copy from here.
