Safety Precautions
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 W/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear
was 1.560 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 SoftBank
Body SAR Policy. In this case, the highest tested
SAR value is 0.562 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.
