SAR (Specific Absorption Rates)

This product is a radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is on, it receives and transmits RF energy.
When you are on a phone call, the system handling your call controls the power
level at which the product transmits.
This product is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR.
The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this
product when tested at the ear was 0.223 W/kg
For body-worn operation, this product has been tested and meets RF exposure
guidelines when used with a Panasonic accessory designated for this product and
when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the mobile
device a minimum of 10 mm (0.033 feet) from the body.
In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.302 W/kg.
Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with RF exposure
guidelines.
As SAR is measured utilising the product’s highest transmitting power the actual
SAR of this product while operating is typically below that indicated above.
This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the product to ensure it only
uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices.
They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting
the length of calls or using a hands-free device to keep the mobile device away
from the head and body.

¢1 The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing.
