■
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for This Product
(for Japan)
This mobile phone
【
404SH
】
meets the Japanese
technical regulations* and international
guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The Japanese technical regulations for exposure to radio
frequency energy established permitted levels of radio
frequency energy, based on standards developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The regulation employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/k
g
) averaged over ten
grams of tissue.
The limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The value of the limit is equal to the value given in
international guidelines recommended by ICNIRP**, which is
in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is
0.528
W/k
g
when tested for use at the ear, and
0.343
W/k
g
*** when
worn on the body in the below manner****. While there
may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, all phones meet the
Japanese technical regulations.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR of the phone during operation
can be well below the maximum value.
Use at positions other than at the ear****
This mobile phone may be used at positions other than at
the ear. By using an accessory such as a belt clip holster
that maintains a
1
.5
cm separation with no metal (parts)
between the body and the mobile phone, this mobile
phone will comply with international guidelines for radio
wave protection.
* The technical regulation is provided in Article 14-2 of the
Ministry Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment.
** International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
*** The value is under simultaneous transmission use
conditions.
The World Health Organization has announced that “A
large number of studies have been performed over the last
two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a
potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects
have been established as being caused by mobile phone
use.”
