SAR Information
The ECOM Ex-Handy 10 has been certified in
compliance with the Government’s requirements
for exposure to Radio Waves.
When communicating over the wireless network, the
feature phone emits via the radio frequency waves low
levels of radio energy. The Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR, is the amount of RF energy absorbed by the
body while using the phone and is expressed in watts/
kilogram (W/kg).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, for example,
ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.). These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave
exposure for the general population.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized
methods with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all used frequency bands.
SAR Data Information for residents in countries
that have adopted the SAR limit recommended
by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). For example,
European Union, Japan, Brazil and New Zealand.
A minimum separation distance of 1.5 cm must be
maintained between the user’s body and the device,
including the antenna during body-worn operation to
comply with the RF exposure requirements in Europe.
The limit recommended by ICNIRP is 2 W/kg averaged
over ten (10) gram of tissue.
The following SAR values are applicable to
Ex-Handy-10 RoW variant of ECOM Ex-Handy 10
feature phones. This variant is available in countries in
Asia, Australia and European union.
The highest SAR value for the ECOM Ex-Handy 10
RoW phone when tested by ECOM for use:

By the head is 0.489 W/Kg (10 g).

Worn on the body is 1.033 W/Kg (10 g-5 mm).
Avoid High Temperatures
Leaving the phone in hot or cold places, such as in a
closed car in summer or winter conditions, reduces
the capacity and lifetime of the built-in battery. For
the best results, try to keep the phone between -20°C
and +55°C (-4°F and 131°F). A phone with a hot or
cold battery may not work temporarily, even when
the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is
particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
