Radio Waves - Motorola MOTO W396 Getting Started Manual

Specific Absorption Rate Data
AR Data
This model meets international guidelines for exposure to

radio waves.

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 ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices used by
the general public is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device
1
when tested at the ear is 0.56 W/kg. As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as
2
described in this user's guide. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is
1
0.44 W/kg.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device's 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.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for
safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could
cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products
are designed to be within the guidelines.
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 "handsfree"
device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
