Exposure to radio frequency energy

Radio wave exposure and Specic Absorption Rate (SAR) information

This mobile phone model LG-A190 has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements regarding exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientic guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure this safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

• The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised method with the phone transmitting at its highest certied power level in all used frequency bands.

• While there may be dierences between the SAR levels of various LG phone models, they are all designed to meet the pertinent guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

• The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2 W/Kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.

• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.936 W/Kg (10g) and when worn on the body is

0.856 W/Kg (10g).

• SAR data information for residents of countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/Kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.
