The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate that there are
harmful effects attributed to the use of mobile devices.
They recommend that if you are worried about your
exposure then you can limit your usage or simply use a
hands-free kit to keep the mobile device away from the
head and body.
Please refer to the WHO website if you would like more
detailed information.

* The tests are carried out in accordance with
international guidelines for testing.

Technical regulations are defined by the Ministerial
Ordinance Related to Radio Law (Article 14-2 of
Radio Equipment Regulations).

Regarding the method of measuring SAR when
using mobile phones in positions other than against
the ear, international standards (IEC62209-2) were
set in March of 2010. On the other hand, technical
regulation is currently being deliberated on by
national council (As of April, 2011).
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 W/k
Ũ
and the highest SAR value for
this device when tested at the ear was 0.
W/k
Ũ
*
.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest
transmitting power the actual SAR of this device while
operating is typically below that indicated above. This is
due to automatic changes to the power level of the
device to ensure it only uses the minimum level
required to reach the network.
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.
