Specific Absorption Rate (Sar) Of Mobile Phones - Sharp AQUOS SH-02L Instruction Manual

Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR) of Mobile Phones
This model SH-02L mobile phone complies with
Japanese technical regulations and international
guidelines regarding exposure to radio waves.
This mobile phone was designed in observance of
Japanese technical regulations regarding exposure to
radio waves (*1) and limits to exposure to radio waves
recommended by a set of equivalent international
guidelines. This set of international guidelines was set
out by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is in collaboration
with the World Health Organization (WHO), and the
permissible limits include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health condition.
The technical regulations and international guidelines
set out limits for radio waves as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR, which is the value of absorbed energy in
any 10 grams of tissue over a 6-minute period. The SAR
limit for mobile phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR
value for this mobile phone when tested for use near the
head is 0.602W/kg (*2) and when worn on the body is
0.568W/kg (*3). There may be slight differences
between the SAR levels for each product, but they all
satisfy the limit.
The actual SAR of this mobile phone while operating can
be well below that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum required to reach the
network. Therefore in general, the closer you are to a
base station, the lower the power output of the device.
This mobile phone can be used in positions other than
against your head. Please keep the mobile phone farther
than 1.5 cm away from your body by using such as a
carrying case or a wearable accessory without including
any metals. This mobile phone satisfies the technical
regulations and international guidelines.
The World Health Organization has stated that "a large
number of studies have been performed over the last two
decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a
potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects
have been established as being caused by mobile phone
use ."

detailed information.
