The continuous talk time and continuous standby time may drop to less
than half depending on the battery charging status, usage environment
such as temperature, reception condition at the location where the product
is used, and the function settings.
Specific Absorption Rate of Mobile Phone
This model URBANO PROGRESSO mobile phone complies with
Japanese technical regulations and international guidelines regarding
exposure to radio waves. This mobile phone has been designed
in observance of the Japanese technical regulations regarding
exposure to radio waves (*1) and limits to exposure to radio waves
recommended by equivalent international guidelines.
These international guidelines were set out by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which
is in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), and
the permissible limits include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health
condition. The SAR limit for mobile phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest
SAR value for this mobile phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.985 W/kg. There may be slight differences in SAR levels among
individual products, but they all satisfy the limit. The actual SAR of
this mobile phone while talking on the phone can be well below that
indicated above. This is due to automatic changes in the power level
of the mobile phone to ensure it only outputs the minimum power
required to communicate with a base station. Therefore in general,
the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power output of
the mobile phone. This mobile phone can be used in positions other
than against your ear. This mobile phone satisfies the international
guidelines when used with au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold
separately) recommended by KDDI (*2). In case you are not using the
au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold separately), use a product
that contains no metal parts, and one that can hold the mobile phone
at least 1.5 cm away from your body. The World Health Organization
has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the
use of mobile devices has nay harmful effects on the human body.
They recommend that if you are still worried about your exposure then
you can limit your talk time or use a handsfree kit to keep the mobile
phone away from your head and body. If you would like to know more
detailed information, please refer to the WHO website.(http://www.

*1 Technical regulations are defined by the Ministerial Ordinance Related to Radio Law (Article
14-2 of Radio Equipment Regulations).
*2 Regarding the method of measuring SAR when using mobile phones in positions other than
against the ear, the international standard IEC62209-2 was set in March 2010. On the other
hand, Japanese technical regulation is currently under deliberation by the Committee for
Radio Wave Utilization Environment set up in the Information and Communication Technology
Group of the Advisory Committee on Information and Communications. (As of October 2011)
