About RF exposure and Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) RF exposure and Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) SAR data information is provided for residents in countries that have adopted the SAR limits recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) or the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The ICNIRP specifies a SAR limit of 2 W/kg averaged over ten (10) grams of body tissue while the IEEE specifies a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of body tissue. These requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The SAR values and test distances differ depending on the measuring method, the device tested (phone or tablet) and if the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality is used, but only the highest SAR values are presented. The WHO (World Health Organization) has stated that current scientific information does not indicate the need for special precautions regarding the use of tablets and phones. For more information on this topic, please visit who.int/emf and refer to Fact sheet No. 193 who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193 Electromagnetic fields and public health: mobile phones. Additional SAR-related information can also be found on the Mobile Manufacturers Forum EMF website at emfexplained.info. For further region specific information about exposure to radio waves (SAR), please select your region: United States When the mobile device or Bluetooth handsfree functionality is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy. International safety guidelines have been developed through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure. The guidelines include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons and to account for any variations in measurements. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile device. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but because the device is designed to use the minimum power necessary to access the chosen network, the actual SAR level can be well below this value. There is no proof of difference in safety based on difference in SAR value. Products with radio transmitters sold in the US must be certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). When required, tests are performed when the device is placed at the ear and when worn on the body. For body-worn operation, the device has been tested when positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the device or when properly used with an appropriate Sony accessory and worn on the body. When operating with "Hotspot" functionality engaged, a separation distance of 10 mm was used.

France Simple steps can help reduce your level of exposure to radio frequencies. To minimise your mobile device's transmit power, be sure to use it under optimal reception conditions, as indicated by the signal strength on the display. In general, the closer you are to an operator antenna, the lower the power used by the mobile device. Current scientific information does not indicate that the use of mobile devices requires any special precautions. However, organizations such as the World Health Organization and the Food and Drug Administration recommend that those who wish to minimise exposure to radio frequencies should reduce their duration of mobile device usage, and use a hands-free accessory when possible to distance the device from the head and body. In accordance with the French legislation in force, we are required to inform you that it is recommended to remove the phone from the belly of pregnant women and the lower abdomen of children and adolescents. 13 Internet version.
