FCC RF Exposure Information
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientific organization through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model handset as reported to
the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.57 W/kg, and
when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 0.57 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the back of the handset kept
1.0 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.0
cm separation distance between the user's body and the back
of the handset. The use of beltclips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic components in its
assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements
may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and
should be avoided. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on
file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on FCC
ID YUW-202F.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on FCC Radio Frequency Safety website at http://
transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/.
European RF Exposure Information
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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 2.0W/kg and the highest SAR value for this
device when tested at the ear was 0.71 W/kg*. As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in
other positions, such as on the body as described in this
User Guide**. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is
0.546 W/kg***. As SAR is measured utilizing the devices
highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this device
while operating is typically below that indicated above. This
is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device
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 phone away from the head and body.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
** Please see Electromagnetic Safety for important notes
regarding body worn operation.
*** A method of measuring SAR when a mobile phone is used
at positions other than at the ear was established in March
2010 through an international standard (IEC62209-2). MIC
technical regulation was reported in October 2011 by the
Information and Communications Council.

RF Exposure Information/Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) Information
RF Exposure Information/Specific
Absorption Rate* (SAR) Information
This mobile phone 202F meets the MIC's**** technical
regulation for exposure to radio waves.
The technical regulation* established permitted levels of
radio frequency energy, based on standards developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The regulation employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg)** averaged over ten
grams of tissue.
The limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The value of the limit is equal to the international guidelines
recommended by ICNIRP*****.
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is 0.690 W/kg
when tested for use at the ear.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, all phones meet MIC's
technical regulation.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR of the phone during operation can be
well below the maximum value.
Use at positions other than at the ear
This mobile phone may be used at positions other than at the
ear. By using an accessory such as a belt clip holster that
maintains a 1.0 cm separation with no metal (parts) between
the body and the mobile phone, this mobile phone will comply
with international guidelines for radio wave protection (***).
The World Health Organization has announced 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."
For more information about SAR, see the following websites:
