THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-VS3) MEETS THE EU
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of
the European Union. 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 limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The
SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is
2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard
operating positions with the phone 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 level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone 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 antenna, the lower the power output.
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 SAR value for this model phone, when tested for use
at the ear, for compliance against the standard was XXXX** W/kg,
and when worn on the body, measured with 1.5 cm air gap, was
XXXX W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the EU requirements for RF exposure.
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the
back of the phone kept 1.5 cm from the body. To maintain
compliance with RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips,
holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm separation
distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic components in its
assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these
requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements,
and should be avoided.
