SoftBank 910SH, User Manual

Page: 29 / 403

xxviii
910SH 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 910SH is 0.21 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.
Additional information on SAR can be obtained on the
Websites on the right.
