THIS
PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-G50)
MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR
limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating
positions 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 base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive
includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other person. The SAR value
for this model phone, when tested for use at the ear, for compliance against the standard was 0.494 W/kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
*The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.
