Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR)
001HT
c
onforms to te
c
hni
c
al standards
related to the body’s absorption of radio
waves set forth by the government.
These te
c
hni
c
al standards are pres
c
ribed in
a
cc
ordan
c
e with s
c
ientifi
c
prin
c
iples to
prevent radio waves transmitted from radio
equipment su
c
h as mobile phones used near
a person’s head from affe
c
ting their health.
The
S
pe
c
ifi
c
Absorption Rate (
S
AR) expresses
the average amount of energy from radio
waves absorbed by a person’s head and shall
not ex
c
eed the permissible value of 2 W/kg*.
This permissible value has a suffi
c
ient safety
margin regardless of age or body size of the
user, and is identi
c
al to the international
guidelines indi
c
ated by the International
Commission on Non- Ionizing Radiation
Prote
c
tion (ICNIRP) in partnership with the
World Health Organization (WHO). All
mobile phones, prior to produ
c
t laun
c
h,
must be
c
ertified as
c
ompliant with
government requirements as stipulated by
the Radio Law. 001HT has been granted
Te
c
hni
c
al Regulations Conformity
Certifi
c
ation by TELECOM ENGINEERING
CENTER. Its highest
S
AR value is 1.42 W/kg.
This value was obtained by TELECOM
ENGINEERING CENTER as part of the
c
ertifi
c
ation pro
c
ess. This is the maximum
value measured at the maximum
transmission power of mobile phones
a
cc
ording to the method spe
c
ified by the
government. Although
S
AR varies among
individual handsets, all handsets are within
permissible values. Also, mobile phones are
designed to use minimum transmission
power required for
c
ommuni
c
ating with
mobile phone base stations; therefore,
normal
S
AR in use is even lower than rated
values. For details about
S
AR, see the
following Websites:

***When pla

ed next to the body:
Measurement tests are

ted with the
ba

k of the mobile phone fa
c
ing the body at
a distan
c
e of 1.5
c
m as the ordinary
pla
c
ement to the body. In order to satisfy the
radio wave exposure regulations, use an
a
cc
essory that fixes the mobile phone at a
distan
c
e of 1.5
c
m from the body. Choose a
belt
c
lip or holster without metal parts.
