Your radio is a low power radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is on, it receives and also sends out radio
frequencies (RF) signals which are absorbed by the body.
The Specific Absorption Rate or SAR value as it is more
commonly known is an indication of the amount of
radiation that is absorbed whilst using a cellular phone,
the higher the SAR rating the more radiation that is
absorbed.
In Europe, the European Council Recommendation
519/1999/EC for exposure guidelines, adopted the
recommendations made by the International Commission
on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP Guidelines
1998). The guidelines provide the maximum recommended
safe levels for Specific Absroption Rate (SAR). In Europe
this is 2.0 Watts/Kg in 10g of tissue.
That the Test Specification Standards used are Cenelec
agreed and EU Harmonised:
EN 50360:2000 Product standard to demonstrate the
compliance of mobile telephones with the basic
restrictions related to human exposure to electromagnetic
fields (300 MHz - 3 GHz)
EN 50361:2001 Basic standard for the measurement of
Specific Absorption Rate related to human exposure to
electromagnetic fields from mobile phones (300 MHz - 3
GHz)
The SAR value of this device is 0.48 Watt s / kg as
measured according to the above standards.
