Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of Cell Phones

This model 【SHL23】 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 (*1) 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), which represents the average amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the human head.

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 0.375 W/kg. There may be slight differences in SAR levels among individual products, but they all satisfy the limit. 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. This mobile phone satisfies the international guidelines when used with au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold separately)/au Carrying Case G Black (0106FCA) (sold separately) recommended by KDDI (*2). In case you are not using the au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold separately)/au Carrying Case G Black (0106FCA) (sold separately), use a product that contains no metal parts, and one that can hold the mobile phone at least 1.5 cm away from your body.

The World Health Organization has stated that “a large number of studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been established as being caused by mobile phone use”. If you would like to know more detailed information, please refer to the WHO website. (http://www.who.int/docstore/peh-emf/publications/ facts_press/fact_english.htm) Please refer to the websites listed below if you would like to know more detailed information regarding SAR.
