This mobile phone can be used in positions other
than against your ear. This mobile phone satisfies
the international guidelines when used with a
carrying case or a wearable accessory approved by
NTT DOCOMO, INC. (*2). In case you are not
using the approved accessory, please use a
product that does not contain any metals, and one
that positions the mobile phone at least 1.5 cm
away from your body.
The World Health Organization has stated that
present scientific information does not indicate that
there are harmful effects attributed to the use of
mobile devices. They recommend that if you are
worried about your exposure then you can limit
your usage or simply use a hands-free kit to keep
the mobile device away from the head and body.
Please refer to the WHO website if you would like
more detailed information.

*1 Technical regulations are defined by the
Ministerial Ordinance Related to Radio Law
(Article 14-2 of Radio Equipment Regulations).
*2 Regarding the method of measuring SAR when
using mobile phones in positions other than
against the ear, international standards
(IEC62209-2) were set in March of 2010. On
the other hand, technical regulation is currently
being deliberated on by national council (As of
July, 2011).
European RF Exposure Information
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit for mobile devices is 2 W/k
Ũ
and the highest
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear
was 0.
W/k
Ũ
*
.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest
transmitting power the actual SAR of this device
while operating is typically below that indicated
above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum level required to reach the network.
