Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN)

・Wi-Fi Cautions

・Handset WLAN function is certified as compliant with
Japanese domestic and FCC standards. Use of WLAN is
restricted in some countries/regions. Check the laws and
regulations of the country/region before using handset
abroad.
・The 2.4 GHz band used by handset Wi-Fi function is
shared by other devices. Handset Wi-Fi function tries to
minimize effects of other devices using the same bandwidth,
but connection speed and distance may be reduced or
function may be disconnected.
・Connection speed and distance vary depending on distance
between connected devices, obstacles, and Wi-Fi devices.

・Cautions on Using 2.4 GHz Band

Wi-Fi operating frequency band is used by industrial,
scientific, consumer and medical equipment including
microwave ovens, other similar radio stations, premises
radio stations for identifying mobile units used in
manufacturing lines (radio stations requiring a license),
specified low power radio stations (radio stations requiring
no license) and amateur radio stations (hereafter, "other
radio stations").
1. Before handset use, be sure "other radio stations" are not
in use nearby.
2. If handset radio waves interfere with "other radio
stations," promptly move or power off.
3. For further information, visit a SoftBank Shop or contact

Customer Service

・Frequencies

Handset Wi-Fi function uses 2.402 GHz - 2.480 GHz
frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band.
Uses 2.4 GHz band, DS-SS/OFDM modulation, with a
maximum interference range of 40 m.

: Utilizes 2.402 GHz - 2.480 GHz

band with mobile device bandwidth differentiation.

・Cautions on Using 5 GHz Band

Use of 5.2 GHz or 5.3 GHz band (W52/W53) for outdoor
communication is prohibited by the Radio Law (excluding
communication with the base stations or land mobile relay
stations of high-output data communications systems
operating in the 5.2 GHz band). Handset uses the following
channels.
・W52 (5.2 GHz band/36, 40, 44, 48 ch)
・W53 (5.3 GHz band/52, 56, 60, 64 ch)
・W56 (5.6 GHz band/100, 104, 108, 112, 116, 120, 124,
128, 132, 136, 140 ch)
・All handset operations when connected with a Wi-Fi-
compatible device are not verified and therefore not
guaranteed.
・Handset supports the Wi-Fi-standard security function
for secure radio communication. However, be careful when
using Wi-Fi, as security may be insufficient depending on
conditions of usage or settings.
・SoftBank Corp. accepts no liability for data/information
leaks during communication using Wi-Fi.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for

This Product

【901KC】 here refers to this mobile phone 【DIGNO

BX】.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for This

Product (for Japan)

This mobile phone 【901KC】 meets Japanese technical
regulations* and international guidelines for exposure to radio
waves.
The Japanese technical regulations for exposure to radio
frequency energy established permitted levels of radio
frequency energy, based on standards developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The regulations employ 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 value given in
international guidelines recommended by ICNIRP**, which is in
collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is 1.199 W/kg***
when tested for use at the ear, and 0.373 W/kg*** when worn
on the body in the below manner****.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, all phones meet the
Japanese technical regulations.
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.

* The technical regulations are provided in Article 14-2 of the
Ministry Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment.
** International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
*** The value is under simultaneous transmission use
conditions.
**** 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 1.5 cm separation with no metal (parts)
between it and 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." 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.
