SAR Statement
European Union - RTTE
THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-GD55) MEETS THE EU
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended
by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg* Tests for SAR have
been conducted using standard operating positions with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the
European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one
essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user
and any other person. The SAR value for this model phone, when tested for
use at the ear, for compliance against the Standard was 0.753 W/kg. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary
depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.
