SAR
This 911T mobile phone complies with the technical standards for the
absorption of radio frequency (RF) energy as set by the Japanese government.
These technical standards, based upon scientifi c evidence, were established to
ensure that RF energy from wireless mobile devices used next to the head do
not have a serious effect on human health. The maximum Specifi c Absorption
Rate (SAR), which measures the average radio wave energy absorbed by the
human head, set by the Japanese government is 2 W/kg*. This allowed value
includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health. The value corresponds with the
international guidelines prescribed by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in cooperation with the World
Health Organization (WHO).
The SAR value for the 911T is 0.405 W/kg. The value conforms with the
guidelines set by the Japanese government and is the maximum measured
value of the transmission power of this phone. Depending on the product,
there may be minute differences in the SAR. However, they are within the
allowed limits. During calling, the actual SAR is lower as the phone is
designed to use the minimum transmission power necessary to communicate
with the mobile network.

About SoftBank's Body SAR Policy
* Body SAR: Refers to the SAR of the maximum transmission power when
continuously calling with the handset attached to the body and using an
earphone.
** Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR): Measured value of continuous calling at
6 minute intervals.
Our technical standards for body SAR include the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) standards and information from
Europe. For more information see the sections on "FCC RF Exposure
Information" and "European RF Exposure Information."
*** Placement on the body: Measurements were taken with the rear of the
phone facing the body at a distance of 1.5 cm as the normal position of
the handset. In order to maintain compliance with radio frequency (RF)
exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm
separation distance between the body and the back of the handset.
Choose accessories, such as belt clips and holsters, that do not contain
metallic components.
