Information
RF Exposure Information/Specific
Absorption Rate* (SAR) Information
This mobile phone 201HW meets the MIC's**** technical
regulation for exposure to radio waves.
The technical regulation* established permitted levels of
radio frequency energy, based on standards developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The regulation employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg)** averaged over ten
grams of tissue.
The limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The value of the limit is equal to the international guidelines
recommended by ICNIRP*****.
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is 0.801 W/kg
when tested for use at the ear.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, all phones meet MIC's
technical regulation.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR of the phone during operation can be
well below the maximum value.
Use at positions other than at the ear
This mobile phone may be used at positions other than at the
ear. By using an accessory such as a belt clip holster that
maintains a 1.0 cm separation with no metal (parts) between
the body and the mobile phone, this mobile phone will comply
with international guidelines for radio wave protection (***).
The World Health Organization has announced 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 being caused by mobile phone use."

* The technical regulation is provided in Article 14-2 of the
Ministry Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment.
** Provided for in "Radio-radiation protection guidelines,"
reported in 1997 by the Telecommunications Technology
Council, Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
*** 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.
