■FCC Information to User
This equipment 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:
1. Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
Radio Wave Exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) Information
【404SH】 here refers to this mobile phone 【AQUOS Xx】.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for This
Product (for Japan)
This mobile phone 【404SH】 meets the Japanese technical
regulations* and international guidelines for exposure to radio
waves.
The Japanese technical regulations for exposure to radio
frequency energy established permitted levels of radio
frequency energy, based on standards developed by
independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
The regulation employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
grams of tissue.
The limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The value of the limit is equal to the value given in
international guidelines recommended by ICNIRP**, which is in
collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is 0.528 W/kg
when tested for use at the ear, and 0.343 W/kg*** when worn
on the body in the below manner****.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, all phones meet the
Japanese technical regulations.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR of the phone during operation can be
well below the maximum value.
Use at positions other than at the ear****
This mobile phone may be used at positions other than at the
ear. By using an accessory such as a belt clip holster that
maintains a 1.5 cm separation with no metal (parts) between
the body and the mobile phone, this mobile phone will comply
with international guidelines for radio wave protection.
* The technical regulation is provided in Article 14-2 of the
Ministry Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment.
** International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection
*** The value is under simultaneous transmission use
conditions.
The World Health Organization has announced 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."
