Safety Precautions
SoftBank 203SH
European RF Exposure Information
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.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this
device when tested at the ear was 0.496 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 this
User Guide**. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is
0.326 W/kg***. As SAR is measured utilizing the device's
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 reach the
network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note
that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so
by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free device to
keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
**Please see "
Electromagnetic Safety " for important notes
regarding body-worn operation.
***A method of measuring SAR when a mobile phone is used at
positions other than at the ear was established in March 2010
through an international standard (IEC62209-2). MIC technical
regulation was reported in October 2011 by the Information
and Communications Council.

Headphone Signal Level
The maximum output voltage for the music player function,
measured in accordance with EN 50332-2, is 12.0 mV.
5 GHz WLAN Operation in USA
Within the 5.15-5.25 GHz band, U-NII devices are restricted
to indoor operations to reduce any potential for harmful
interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite Services (MSS)
operations.
FCC Notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)
this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer responsible for compliance could void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
