Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
of Cell Phones
This model LGL22 mobile phone complies with Japanese
technical regulations and international guidelines regarding
exposure to radio waves. This cell 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 Japanese technical regulations and
international guidelines define the limits using a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR),
which represents the average amount of radio frequency
energy absorbed by the human head. The SAR limit for cell
phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this mobile
phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.216W/kg.
There may be slight differences in SAR levels among
individual products, but they all satisfy the limit. The actual
SAR of this cell 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 cell 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 cell
phone.
This cell phone can be used in positions besides your
ear. This cell phone satisfies the international guidelines
when used with au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold
separately)/au Carrying Case G Black (0106FCA) (sold
separately) recommended by KDDI
(*2)
.
In case you are not using the au Carrying Case F Black
(0105FCA) (sold separately)/au Carrying Case G Black
(0106FCA) (sold separately), use a product that contains
no metal parts, and one that can hold the cell phone at
least 1.5 cm away from your body.
The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate that use of mobile
devices has any 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 hands-free kit to
keep the mobile phone away from your head and body.
