Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) of Data
Communication Terminals
This model Qua tab QZ10 complies with Japanese
technical regulations for exposure to radio
waves and international guidelines on radio wave
protection.
This data communication terminal has been
designed in observance of the Japanese
technical regulations regarding exposure to
radio waves
(*1)
and limits to exposure to radio
waves recommended by equivalent international
guidelines. These international guidelines were
set out by the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is in
collaboration with the World Health Organization
(WHO), and the permissible limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health
condition.
The Japanese technical regulations and
international guidelines define the limits using
a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR), which represents the
average amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the human body. The SAR limit for
this data communication terminal is 2.0 W/kg. The
highest SAR value for this data communication
terminal when it is operated in normal usage
described in this manual is 0.74 W/kg
(*2)
. There
may be slight differences in SAR levels among
individual products, but they all satisfy the limit.
The actual SAR of this data communication
terminal while communicating on the terminal can
be well below that indicated above.This is due to
automatic changes in the power level of the data
communication terminal to ensure it only outputs
the minimum power required to communicate with
a base station. Therefore in general, the closer you
are to a base station, the lower the power output
of the data communication terminal is.
While the data communication terminal is
communicating, be sure to hold the product at
least 1.5 cm away from your body and do not
contain metal parts between the product and
your body. Under these conditions, this data
communication terminal satisfies Japanese
technical regulations and international guidelines
for radio wave protection.
The World Health Organization has stated that "a
large number of studies have been performed over
the last two decades to assess whether mobile
phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no
adverse health effects have been established as
