SAR Certification Information
708SC meets the technical standards of Ministry of
Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) regarding radio
wave absorption by a human body.
These technical standards are established on a scientific
basis to prevent radio waves emitted from wireless devices
such as mobile phones that are used close to human head
from affecting human health. These standards assure that
the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), an indicator of the
amount of average energy absorbed in the side of a
human head, must not exceed the permissive value of 2W/
kg*. This value includes a substantial safety margin
designated to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and physical size. The value is equal to the
international guideline recommended by International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) that has a cooperative relationship with the
World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for 708SC is 1.05 W/kg. This value
is obtained in accordance with the MIC testing procedure
with the mobile phone transmitting at its highest
permitted power level. While there may be differences in
the SAR levels depending on phones, they all meet the
MIC's permissible value. Because mobile phones are
designed to employ the minimum power level required for
the communication with the base station, the SAR of the
phone during a call is usually below the maximum value.
