Important Information
SAR
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES and the requirements of the EU
Directive 1999/5/EC.
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. These guidelines also form the basis of
international regulations and standards on RF Exposure.
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, for
compliance against the standard, was 0.783 W/kg. As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in the user guide. For
body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the RF
exposure guidelines when used with a Panasonic accessory
designated for this product or when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of
1.5cm from the body. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is
0.553 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
communicate with the network.
