Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Information for this Product
This product [303ZT] meets Japanese technical regulations*
and international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The Japanese technical regulations for exposure to radio
frequency energy established permitted levels of radio
frequency energy, based on standards developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The regulations employ 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 value given in
international guidelines recommended by ICNIRP**, which is in
collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for this product is 1.089 W/kg*** when
used close to the body in the below manner**** .
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various products and at various positions, all products meet
the Japanese technical regulations.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR of the product during operation can be
well below the maximum value.
・Use close to the body****
To use this product close to the body, maintain a separation
of 1.0 cm with no metal (parts) between it and the body.
This will ensure this product meets the Japanese technical
regulations for exposure and international guidelines for
radio wave protection.
* The technical regulations are provided in Article 14-2 of
the Ministry Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment.
** International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
*** The value is under simultaneous transmission use
conditions.
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."

This product [303ZT] is confirmed to comply with guidelines
relating to effects of radio wave exposure as set forth by
the Council of Europe (CE) and the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). Refer to the following.
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. 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 0.783 W/kg*.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
