●

Increase the separation between the 
equipment and receiver.

●

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a 
circuit different from that to which the receiver 
is connected.

●

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or 
TV technician for help.

FCC RF Exposure Inform

a

tion

940N 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 to assure the safety of 
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The influence on the human body of radio waves 
emitted from mobile phones is measured 
employing a unit known as the Specific 
Absorption Rate (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 maximum SAR value for this model handset 
when tested for use at the ear is 0.346 W/kg and 
when worn on the body, as described in this user 
guide, is 0.355 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; this device was tested for 
typical body-worn operations with the back of 

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 
handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar 
accessories should not contain metallic 
components in its assembly. Non-compliance 
with the above restrictions may result in violation 
of FCC RF Exposure guidelines.
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 
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/
GenericSearch.cfm 
after searching on FCC ID A98-HAE3588.
Additional information on Specific Absorption 
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular

940N is a radio transmitter and receiver. This 

product has been confirmed not to exceed the 
limits recommended by international guidelines 
for radio frequency.
These guidelines were developed by the 
independent scientific organization International 

Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation 
Protection (ICNIRP) and include a substantial 
safety margin to assure the safety of all persons, 
regardless of age and health.
The influence on the human body of radio waves 
emitted from mobile phones is measured 
employing a unit known as the Specific 
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for mobile 
devices is 2 W/kg. The maximum SAR value for 
this model handset, when placed on the ear, is 
0.677W/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’s 
Body SAR Policy. In this case, the maximum SAR 
value is 0.321W/kg*.
Since the SAR is measured at the highest 
transmitting power level, the actual SAR during a 
call is usually much lower. This is because mobile 
phones are designed to operate at their minimum 
power levels necessary to communicate with base 
stations.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated 
that present scientific information about mobile 
phone use does not indicate any adverse effects 
on the human body. They recommend limiting 
the talking time or using a handsfree device to 
keep the mobile phone away from the head and 
body to reduce influence of exposure to radio 
waves.
