940N meets the technical standards set by the
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications
(MIC) regarding radio wave absorption by a
human body.
These technical standards have been established
on a scientific basis to prevent radio waves
emitted from wireless devices such as mobile
phones that are used close to a human head from
affecting human health. These standards require
that the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), an
indicator of the amount of average radio
frequency energy absorbed in the side of a
human head, must not exceed the permissive
value of 2 W/kg*. This value includes a substantial
safety margin to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and physical size. The value is
equal to the international guideline
recommended by the International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)
that has a cooperative relationship with the World
Health Organization (WHO).
* The technical standards are stipulated in the
Radio Law (Article 14-2 of Ordinance
Regulating Radio Equipment).
The highest SAR value is 0.541 W/kg for 940N.
This value was obtained in accordance with the
MIC testing procedure with handset transmitting
at its highest permitted power level. While there
may be differences in SAR levels for various
handsets, they all meet the MIC’s permissible
value. Because mobile phones are designed to
operate at their minimum power level required to
communicate with base stations, the actual SAR
of handset during a call is usually below the
highest value.

Body SAR: Value obtained from continuously
talking with handset placed on the body using
earphone-microphone at maximum
transmission power.
･
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): Value obtained
from talking continuously for six minutes.
･
Placement on the body: Measurements are
taken with the rear of handset facing the body
at a distance of 1.5 cm as the standard handset
position. In order to comply with radio
frequency exposure requirements, use an
accessory (e.g. belt clip, holster) that does not
contain metallic parts to maintain a 1.5 cm
separation between the body and handset.

FCC Inform
a
tion to User
940N has been tested and found to comply with
the limits of a Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation; if this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
●
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
