Specific Absorption Rate (Sar) Of Mobile Phones - Panasonic P-05D Instruction Manual

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of
Mobile Phones
This model P-05D 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* 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 at the ear is 0.456 W/kg. 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 ear. This mobile phone satisfies the international guidelines
when used with a carrying case or a wearable accessory approved
by NTT DOCOMO, INC.** In case you are not using the approved
accessory, please use a product that does not contain any metals,
and one that positions the mobile phone at least 1.5 cm away
from your body.
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."
