Specific Absorption Rate
of Mobile Phone

This model KC-S701 mobile phone
complies with Japanese technical
regulations and international guidelines
regarding exposure to radio waves. This
mobile phone has been designed in
observance of the Japanese technical
regulations regarding exposure to radio
waves* and limits to exposure to radio
waves recommended by equivalent
international guidelines.
These international guidelines were set
out by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP), which is in collaboration with
the World Health Organization (WHO),
and the permissible limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health condition.
The Japanese technical regulations and
international guidelines define the limits
using a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR),

GB 58

Appendix

which represents the average amount of
radio frequency energy absorbed by the
human. The SAR limit for mobile phones
is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for
this mobile phone when tested for use at
the ear is 0.490 W/kg. The highest SAR
value for this mobile phone when tested
for use on the body is 0.381 W/kg. The
actual SAR of this mobile phone while
talking on the phone can be well below
that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes in the power level of
the mobile phone to ensure it only outputs
the minimum power required to
communicate with a base station.
Therefore in general, the closer you are to
a base station, the lower the power output
of the mobile phone.
This mobile phone can be used in
positions other than against your ear.
Use an accessory such as a carrying
case, etc. so that you can hold the
product at least 1.5 cm away from your
body and also do not contain metal parts
between the product and your body. By
doing this, this mobile phone complies
with Japanese technical regulations and
international guidelines regarding
exposure to radio waves. The World
Health Organization has stated that
present scientific information does not

Appendix

indicate the use of mobile devices has
any harmful effects on the human body.
They recommend that if you are still
worried about your exposure then you
can limit your talk time or use a handsfree
kit to keep the mobile phone away from
your head and body. If you would like to
know more detailed information, please
refer to the WHO website.

GB 61

FCC RF EXPOSURE
INFORMATION

Warning! Read this information before
using your phone.

Warning! Read this information before
using your phone. In August 1996, the
Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the United States, with its action
in Report and Order FCC 96-326,
adopted an updated safety standard for
human to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines
are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with
the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.

Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical body­worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the
body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation
distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) must be
maintained between the user’s body and
the back of the phone, including the

Appendix

antenna. All beltclips, holsters and similar
accessories used by this device must not
contain any metallic components. Body­worn accessories that do not meet these
requirements may not comply with FCC
RF exposure limits and should be
avoided.This device is not intended to be
used with a lanyard or strap on the
body.The device contains a mounting
point that may be used to attach the
device to equipment, a backpack or tool
belt, etc.

Turn off your phone before flying.

You should turn off your phone when
boarding any aircraft. T o prevent possible
interference with aircraft systems, U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
regulations require you to have
permission from a crew member to use
your phone while the plane is on the
ground. To prevent any risk of
interference, FCC regulations prohibit
using your phone while the plane is in the
air.

GB 62

European RF Exposure
Information

Your mobile device is both a radio
transmitter and receiver, and is designed
not to exceed limits for exposure to radio
waves recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were
produced by independent scientific
organization, ICNIRP, and inclu de safety
margins designed to protect all persons,
regardless of age and condition of health.
The guidelines apply a unit of
measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for
mobile devices is 2W/kg, and the highest
SAR value for this device was 0.556 W/

*

kg

.
As testing measures SAR at the highest
transmitting power of a device, actual
SAR tends to be lower during ordinary
operation. Lower SAR levels are typical
during ordinary operation as automatic
changes are made within the device to
ensure the network can be reached with
minimal power.
The World Health Organization (WHO)
has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for
any special precautions to be adopted
when using mobile devices. WHO also

Appendix

notes that those wishing to reduce
exposure may do so by limiting call length
and by using a ‘hands-free’ device to
distance the phone from the head and
body. For further information, please see
the WHO website: http://www.who.i nt /
peh-emf/en/
* Note that tests are also carried out in

accordance with international testing
guidelines.
