Sony SGP311U1/B, Important Information Manual

periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure.
The guidelines include a safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is used to measure radio
frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a mobile
device. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified
power level in laboratory conditions, but because the device is
designed to use the minimum power necessary to access the
chosen network, the actual SAR level can be well below this
value. There is no proof of difference in safety based on
difference in SAR value.
Products with radio transmitters sold in the US must be
certified by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
When required, tests are performed when the device is placed
at the ear and when worn on the body. For body-worn
operation, the device has been tested when positioned a
minimum of 15 mm from the body without any metal parts in
the vicinity of the device or when properly used with an
appropriate Sony accessory and worn on the body. When
operating with “Hotspot” functionality engaged, a separation
distance of 10 mm was used.

Flight mode
Bluetooth and Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
functionality, if available in the device, can be enabled in
Flight mode but may be prohibited onboard aircraft or in other
areas where radio transmissions are prohibited. In such
environments, please seek proper authorisation before
enabling Bluetooth or WLAN functionality even in Flight mode.
