This model phone SH-08A 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
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
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/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was
W/kg
*
.
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.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the
use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure
then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free
device to keep the mobile phone away from the head.
*
The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for
testing.
