RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE AND
SAR
EFFICIENT USE
Hold your mobile phone as you would any other
phone. Do not cover the top of the phone when in
use, as this affects call quality and may cause the
phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed, thus shortening talk and standby times.
While in data transfer, the mobile phone is not
designed to be held next to the ear.
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF)
EXPOSURE AND SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it
emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also
known as radio waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g.
ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection), through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
These guidelines establish permitted levels of
radio wave exposure for the general population.
All Sony Ericsson mobile phone models are
designed to operate within these stringent levels.
The levels include a safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radio frequency
energy absorbed by the body when using a
mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at
the highest certified power level in laboratory
conditions, but the actual SAR level of the mobile
phone while operating can be well below this
value.
This is because the mobile 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 decrease.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency
exposure guidelines do not mean that there are
variations in safety. While there may be
differences in SAR levels among various mobile
phones, all Sony Ericsson mobile phone models
are designed to meet the relevant radio frequency
exposure guidelines.
A separate leaflet with SAR information for this
mobile phone model is included with the material
that comes with this mobile phone. This
information can also be found, together with more
information on radio frequency exposure and
SAR, on www.SonyEricsson.com/.
