This mobile phone 【503KC】 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 0.565 W/kg***
when tested for use at the ear, and 0.354 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 1.5 cm 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.
