Certification information

(SAR)

THIS DEVICE MEETS

INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES

FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO

WAVES

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter

and receiver. It is designed and

manufactured not to exceed the limits for

exposure to radio frequency (RF)

recommended by international guidelines

(ICNIRP). These limits are part of

comprehensive guidelines and establish

permitted levels of RF energy for the

general population. The guidelines were

developed by independent scientific

organizations through periodic and

thorough evaluation of scientific studies.

The guidelines include a substantial

safety margin designed to assure the

safety of all persons, regardless of age

and health.

]

The exposure standard for mobile

devices employs a unit of

measurement known as the Specific

Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR

limit stated in the international

guidelines is 2.0 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. Although the SAR is

determined at the highest certified

power level, the actual SAR of the

8

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

device while operating can be well

below the maximum value. This is

because the device is designed to

operate at multiple power levels so as

to use only the power required to

reach the network. In general, the

closer you are to a base station, the

lower the power output of the device.

Before a phone model is available for

sale to the public, compliance with the

European R&TTE directive must be

shown. This directive includes as one

essential requirement the protection

of the health and the safety for the

user and any other person.

The highest SAR value for this device

when tested for use at the ear is

0.752 W/kg.

]

This device meets RF exposure

guidelines when used either in the

normal use position against the

ear or when positioned at least

1.5 cm away from the body.

When a carry case, belt clip or

holder is used for body-worn

operation, it should not contain

metal and should position the

product at least 1.5 cm away from

your body. In order to transmit

data files or messages, this device

requires a quality connection to

the network. In some cases,

transmission of data files or

messages may be delayed until

such a connection is available.

Ensure the above separation

distance instructions are followed

until the transmission is

completed. The highest SAR value

for this device when tested for use

at the body is 1.01 W/kg.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

9

* The SAR limit for mobile devices

used by the public is 2.0

watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged

over ten grams of body tissue.

The guidelines incorporate a

substantial margin of safety to give

additional protection for the public

and to account for any variations in

measurements. SAR values may

vary depending on national

reporting requirements and the

network band. For SAR information

in other regions please look under

product information at

www.lgmobile.com.
