Safety Precautions
Xperia™ Z3
This mobile phone 401SO 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 and the highest SAR value for this device when
tested at the ear is 0.58 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 0.48 W/kg
＊
.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
FCC RF Exposure Information
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientific organization through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model handset as reported to
the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.50 W/kg, and
when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 1.20 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the handset kept 1.5 cm from
the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm
separation distance between the user's body and the handset.
The use of beltclips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements
may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and
should be avoided. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on
file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ ) after searching on
FCC ID PY7PM-0807.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the FCC website at

rfsafety/ .
The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate the need for any
special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note
that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so
by limiting the length of calls or using a hands-free device to
keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
