SAR Certification Information
This model phone FOMA SO903iTV 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 0.167 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.
