phone model LG-A290 has
been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements
for exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are
based on scientific guidelines
that include safety margins
designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The radio wave exposure
•
guidelines employ a unit of
measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standardised
methods with the phone
transmitting at its highest
26
certified power level in all
used frequency bands.
While there may be
•
differences between the
SAR levels of various LG
phone models, they are all
designed to meet the relevant
guidelines for exposure to
radio waves.
The SAR limit recommended
•
by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
is 2W/kg averaged over 10g
of tissue.
The highest SAR value for
•
this model phone tested by
DASY4 for use at the ear is
1.14 W/kg (10 g) and when
worn on the body is N/A
W/kg(10 g).
This device meets RF
•
exposure guidelines when
used either in the normal
use position against the ear
or when positioned at least
1.5 cm away from the body.
When a carry case, belt clip
or holder is used for bodyworn operation, it should not
contain metal and should
position the product at least
1.5 cm away from your body.
In order to transmit data
files or messages, this device
requires a quality connection
to the network. In some cases,
transmission of data files or
messages may be delayed
until such a connection
is available. Ensure the
above separation distance
instructions are followed
until the transmission is
completed.
