Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
This mobile phone 003Z 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***.
All mobile phones should be confirmed to comply
with the regulation, before they are available for
sale to the public.
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is
1.56 W/kg when tested for use at the ear.
The test for SAR was conducted in accordance with
MIC’s testing procedure, using standard operating
positions, with the phone transmitting at its
highest permitted power level.
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.

14-2 of the Ministry Ordinance Regulating Radio
Equipment.

SoftBank’s Body SAR Policy
For body worn operation, this mobile phone has
been tested and meets RF exposure guidelines
when used with an accessory containing no metal
and positioning the handset a minimum 15 mm
from the body. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines.

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 1.120 W/kg, and when worn on the body in a
holder or carry case, is 0.556 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for
typical body-worn operations with the back of the
handset kept 1.5 cm from the body. To maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements,
use accessories that maintain a 1.5 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 Q78-003Z
