THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-GD67) 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
0.505
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. For
