Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) certicationinormationYour device conorms to European Union (EU) standards that limithuman exposure to radio requency (RF) energy emitted by radio andtelecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale o mobiledevices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the SpecicAbsorption Rate, or SAR) o 2.0 W/kg.

During testing, the maximum SAR recorded or this model was 0.338 W/kg. Innormal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device has beendesigned to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to thenearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible,your device reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.
