Safety Precautions and Conditions of Use
SAR
Your Sharp mobile phone has been designed, manufactured and tested so as not to exceed
the limits for exposure to electromagnetic fields set by the Australian Radiation Protection
and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
developed by independent scientific organisations. The guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of the phone user and others and to take into
account variations in age and health, individual sensitivities and environmental conditions.
The exposure standards provide for the amount of radio frequency electromagnetic energy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone to be measured by reference to the
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR limit for the general public is currently 2.0 watts per kilogram averaged over 10
gram tissue. Your Sharp mobile phone SAR value is *.*** watts per kilogram. This has been
tested to ensure that this limit is not exceeded even when the phone is operating at its
highest certified power. In use however your Sharp mobile phone may operate at less than
full power because it is designed to use only sufficient power to communicate with the
network.
