SAR Certification Information
This model phone P-04B meets the MIC’s* technical regulation for
exposure to radio waves.
The technical regulation established permitted levels of radio
frequency energy, based on standards that were 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/kg)** 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 international guidelines recommended
by ICNIRP***.
All phone models should be confirmed to comply with the regulation,
before they are available for sale to the public. The highest SAR value
for this model phone is 0.940 W/kg.
It was taken by the Telecom Engineering Center (TELEC), a
Registered Certification Agency on the Radio Law. The test for
SAR was conducted in accordance with the MIC testing procedure
using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its
highest permitted power level in all tested frequency bands. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the MIC’s technical regulation.
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.

European RF Exposure Information
This mobile phone complies with the EU requirements for exposure to radio
waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transceiver, designed and manufactured not to
exceed the SAR* limits** for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy, which
SAR* value, when tested for compliance against the standard was 0.639 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR* levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet*** the EU requirements for RF
exposure.
*
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
** The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue, recommended by The Council of
the European Union. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
*** Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating positions
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate
at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower
the power output.
