*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, international
standards (IEC62209-2) were set in March
2010. On the other hand, technical
regulation is currently being deliberated on
by national council. (As of June, 2011)

THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED
IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The SO-02C mobile phones have been
designed to comply with applicable safety
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed to not exceed the
limits* of exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy set by governmental authorities.
These limits establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by international scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all individuals, regardless of age
and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ
a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are
conducted using standardized methods with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phone models, they are
all designed to meet the relevant guidelines
for exposure to radio waves. For more
information on SAR, please refer to the safe
and efficient use chapter in the User Guide.
The highest SAR value as reported to the
authorities for this phone model when tested
for use by the ear is 0.76 W/kg*, and when
worn on the body is 1.04 W/kg* for speech
and 1.16 W/kg* for data calls. For body-worn
operation, the phone has been tested when
positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the
body without any metal parts in the vicinity of
the phone or when properly used with an
appropriate Sony Ericsson accessory and
worn on the body.
