SoftBank 104SH

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 organizations 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 0.498 W/kg, and
when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 0.625 W/
kg.
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 at

under the

Display Grant section after searching the corresponding FCC
ID (APYHRO00164).

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

SoftBank 104SH meets the government's requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are based on scientific basis to assure
that radio waves emitted from mobile phones and other
handheld wireless devices do not affect human health. They
require that the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is
the unit of measurement for the amount of radiofrequency
absorbed by the body, shall not exceed 2 W/kg*. This limit
includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age or health, and meets
the international standard set by International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in cooperation with
World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value of SoftBank 104SH is 0.457 W/kg. SAR
tests were conducted with handset transmitting at its highest
certified power level in accordance with testing methods
set by the government. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels for various handsets, they all meet
the governmental requirements for safe exposure. The actual
SAR level of the handset while operating can be well below
the highest value.
This is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
Network.

following Websites.
