The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The ICNIRP
SAR limit for mobile devices used by the general public is 2 W/kg. The highest CE SAR value for this
device when tested for use on the head was 0.977 W/kg* and 0.779 W/kg* on the body.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while
operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of
the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this product
model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to
be within the guidelines.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientic information does not indicate the need
for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your
exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a ‘handsfree’ device to keep the
mobile phone away from the head and body.

* The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing. The limit incorporates
a substantial margin for safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. Additional related information includes the ASUS testing protocol, assessment procedure, and
measurement uncertainty range for this product.
