※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 of 2010.
On the other hand, technical regulation is currently being deliberated on by national
council. (As of March 2011)
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. Your phone is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the output.
