Whoop ECHO – Quick Start Guide

9. Safety information regarding

radiation and SAR

Whoop mobile phones meet the requirements for the

CE marking, also with regard to radiation. Your Whoop

smartphone is equipped with multiple senders and

receivers (GSM/UMTS/WiFi). The design of your device

is such, that it meets CE-requirements.

Radio waves influence the human body, they are

absorbed within the body and converted to warmth.

SAR values express the extent to which this takes place.

SAR is the acronym for Specific Absorbtion Rate.

In order to obtain the most objective frame of SAR-

values, different means of measuring are employed.

The object is to determine the amount of Watts that

are absorbed per Kg of body mass, averaged over 10

grams of body-tissue. The CE-marking requires this

value to not exceed 2.0 W/Kg. The SAR limitations in

the United States, established by the FCC, are even

lower, at 1.6 W/Kg.

Testing for SAR-values is performed under the

following conditions:

 At the highest permitted level of transmitter

power output that the equipped sender is

capable to transmit on the various frequencies.
