Information Concerning SAR Certification (Specific Absorption Rate)

The SAR limit of Europe is 2.0 W/kg for the head and body, and 4.0 W/kg for the limbs. The device has been tested against this SAR limit.

The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use at the ear is 0.72 W/kg, when correctly worn on the body is 1.44 W/kg, and for limbs is 3.08 W/kg.

This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the handset kept 5 mm from the body. The device complies with RF specifications when used at 5 mm from the body. Belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories used should not contain metallic components in the assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
