Specific Absorption Rate (Sar) - HTC 001HT Basic Manual

Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR)
001HT conforms to technical standards
related to the body's absorption of radio
waves set forth by the government.
These technical standards are prescribed in
accordance with scientific principles to
prevent radio waves transmitted from radio
equipment such as mobile phones used near
a person's head from affecting their health.
The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) expresses
the average amount of energy from radio
waves absorbed by a person's head and shall
not exceed the permissible value of 2 W/kg*.
This permissible value has a sufficient safety
margin regardless of age or body size of the
user, and is identical to the international
guidelines indicated by the International
Commission on Non- Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) in partnership with the
World Health Organization (WHO). All
mobile phones, prior to product launch,
must be certified as compliant with
government requirements as stipulated by
the Radio Law. 001HT has been granted
Technical Regulations Conformity
Certification by TELECOM ENGINEERING
CENTER. Its highest SAR value is 1.42 W/kg.
This value was obtained by TELECOM
ENGINEERING CENTER as part of the
certification process. This is the maximum
value measured at the maximum
transmission power of mobile phones
according to the method specified by the
government. Although SAR varies among
individual handsets, all handsets are within
permissible values. Also, mobile phones are
designed to use minimum transmission
power required for communicating with
mobile phone base stations; therefore,
normal SAR in use is even lower than rated
values. For details about SAR, see the

* Requirements are stipulated in Radio
Law (Ordinance Regulating Radio
Equipment, Article 14-2).
SoftBank Body SAR Policy
*Body SAR refers to the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR) at the maximum transmission
power with an earphone/Microphone
attached to the mobile phone and
continuously talking while the mobile phone
unit is placed next to the body.
**Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) values
were measured under talking continuously
for 6 minutes.
For technical standards on body SAR,
SoftBank lists information from Europe. See
"Information on the Effects of Radio Wave
Exposure from the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC)" and "Information on the
Effects of Radio Wave Exposure from
Europe" for details.
***When placed next to the body:
Measurement tests are conducted with the
back of the mobile phone facing the body at
a distance of 1.5 cm as the ordinary
placement to the body. In order to satisfy the
radio wave exposure regulations, use an
accessory that fixes the mobile phone at a
distance of 1.5 cm from the body. Choose a
belt clip or holster without metal parts.
