Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for This
Product (for Japan)
This mobile phone 401PM meets Japanese technical regulations*
and international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
The■Japanese■technical■regulations■for■exposure■to■radio■frequency■energy■
established■permitted■levels■of■radio■frequency■energy,■based■on■standards■
developed■by■independent■scientific■organizations■through■periodic■and■
thorough■evaluation■of■scientific■studies.
The■regulations■employ■a■unit■of■measurement■known■as■the■Specific■
Absorption■Rate,■or■SAR.
The■SAR■limit■is■2■watts/kilogram■(W/kg)■averaged■over■ten■grams■of■tissue.
The■limit■includes■a■substantial■safety■margin■designed■to■assure■the■safety■
of■all■persons,■regardless■of■age■and■health.
The■value■of■the■limit■is■equal■to■the■value■given■in■international■guidelines■
recommended■by■ICNIRP**,■which■is■in■collaboration■with■the■World■Health■
Organization■(WHO).
The■highest■SAR■value■for■this■mobile■phone■is■0.846■W/kg■when■tested■for■
used■at■the■ear,■and■0.640■W/kg***■when■worn■on■the■body■in■the■below■
manner****.■
While■there■may■be■differences■between■the■SAR■levels■of■various■phones■
and■at■various■positions,■all■phones■meet■the■Japanese■technical■regulations.
Although■the■SAR■is■determined■at■the■highest■certified■power■level,■the■
actual■SAR■of■the■phone■during■operation■can■be■well■below■the■maximum■
value.
Use at positions other than at the ear****
This■mobile■phone■may■be■used■at■positions■other■than■at■the■ear.■By■using■
an■accessory■such■as■a■belt■clip■holster■that■maintains■a■10■mm■separation■
with■no■metal■(parts)■between■it■and■the■body■and■the■mobile■phone,■this■
mobile■phone■will■comply■with■international■guidelines■for■radio■wave■
protection.
*■The■technical■regulations■are■provided■in■Article■14-2■of■the■Ministry■
Ordinance■Regulating■Radio■Equipment.
**■International■Commission■on■Non-Ionizing■Radiation■Protection
***■The■value■is■under■simultaneous■transmission■use■conditions.
The■World■Health■Organization■has■announced■that■"A■large■number■of■
studies■have■been■performed■over■the■last■two■decades■to■assess■whether■
mobile■phones■pose■a■potential■health■risk.■To■date,■no■adverse■health■
effects■have■been■established■as■being■caused■by■mobile■phone■use.■"
