SAR certification
When communicating over the wireless network, the mobile phone
emits low radio waves known as radio frequency energy or RF. The
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR is the unit used to measure the
amount of RF energy absorbed by the body while using the phone
and is expressed in watts/kilogram. In compliance with the product
standards in EN 50360:2001, the allowed limit of SAR averaged for
10g tissue is 2.0 (W/kg).
The localised SAR of the portable
JCB™TOUGHPHONE™
device has been measured in all cases as requested by the relevant
international standards. The maximum localised SAR value for which
the device has been tested and certified for specific exposure limits
and different network bands is given below:
900 MHz Band
Min. measured SAR: 0.13
Max. measured SAR: 0.68
1800 MHz Band
Min. measured SAR: 0.08
Max. measured SAR: 0.15
You can reduce the exposure of the human body to RF energy by
keeping the phone at a distance from the head/body. For example, by
using a hands free headset.
