receiver. It is designed and manufactured to not
exceed the limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy defined by the
international standards. These
recommendations have been established by
the International Commission on Non-lionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) that forecasts a
substantial safety margin for assuring the
protection for all persons, regardless of age
and health. The exposure recommendations for
handhelds use a measurement unit known as
the SAR. The SAR limit recommended by the
ICNIRP for the handheld used by the general
public is
2.0 W/kg averaged over ten grams
of tissue.
While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various handhelds and at various
positions, they all meet the international
protection standards for exposure to radio
waves.
The highest SAR value for the GPH-610R
handheld when tested for compliance against
the standard is 0.652 W/kg for ICNIRP
recommendation.
Tests for SAR have been conducted to use
recommended operating positions with the
handheld 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 levels of
the handheld while operating are generally
below the maximum SAR value. This is
because the handheld 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 the base station antenna,
the lower the power output.
For limiting radio wave exposure, it is
recommended to reduce the handheld call
duration or use a headset. The purpose of
those precautions is to keep the handheld away
from the head and the body.
Environmental care
Observe local regulations regarding the
disposal of packaging materials, exhausted
batteries and old handhelds and promote their
recycling. SED Wireless has marked the
