Certification Information (SAR)
This mobile device complies with international guidelines for radio wave exposure. SAR tests are conducted at the highest power level across all frequency bands. The maximum SAR values are:
Usage Condition | Maximum SAR Value (over 10g) | Frequency Bands Used |
---|---|---|
Against the head | 0.65 W/kg | 3-slot GPRS1800 + WLAN2450 |
Separation distance of 1.5 cm from the body | 0.53 W/kg | 2-slot GPRS850 + WLAN2450 |
The device meets RF exposure guidelines when used against the head or at least 1.5 cm from the body. Ensure any carry case or holder maintains this separation distance and does not contain metal. Network connection quality affects data transfer speed. Follow separation distance guidelines during transmission. General use SAR values are typically lower due to automatic power reduction. For the latest SAR information, visit sar.microsoft.com. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that current scientific evidence does not require special precautions for mobile device use. For reduced exposure, limit usage or use a hands-free kit.
