xxxiii
705SH meets the government's requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are based on scientific basis to assure that radio
waves emitted from mobile phones and other handheld wireless devices
do not affect human health. They require that the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR), which is the unit of measurement for the amount of
radiofrequency absorbed by the body, shall not exceed 2 W/k
g
*
.
This limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age or health, and meets the
international standard set by International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in cooperation with World Health
Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for 705SH is 0.44 W/k
g
. Tests for SAR are
conducted with handset transmitting at its highest certified power level,
and follow the testing methods set by the government. While there may
be differences between the SAR levels for various handsets, they all
meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. The actual
SAR level of the handset while operating can be well below the highest
value. This is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the Network.
