Sar - SoftBank 912T User Manual

SAR

This 912T mobile phone complies with the technical standards for the
absorption of radio frequency (RF) energy as set by the Japanese government.
These technical standards, based upon scientifi c evidence, were established to
ensure that RF energy from wireless mobile devices used next to the head do
not have a serious effect on human health. The maximum Specifi c Absorption
Rate (SAR), which measures the average radio wave energy absorbed by the
human head, set by the Japanese government is 2 W/kg*. This allowed value
includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health. The value corresponds with the
international guidelines prescribed by the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in cooperation with the World
Health Organization (WHO).
All models of cellular phones are required to comply with the technical
standards of Japan set forth in the Radio Law before being released for sale.
The 912T has received construction design certifi cation under the Radio Law
with a SAR value of 0.115 W/kg. This maximum SAR value was determined by
TÜV Rheinland Japan, Ltd. (registered certifi cation agency) and the Telecom
Engineering Center (measurement agency) at the maximum transmission
power of this handset with measurement carried out conforming to the
guidelines set by the Japanese government. Depending on the product, there
may be minute differences in the SAR. However, they are within the allowed
limits. During calling, the actual SAR is lower as the phone is designed to use
the minimum transmission power necessary to communicate with the mobile
network.

About SoftBank's Body SAR Policy
* Body SAR: Refers to the SAR of the maximum transmission power when
continuously calling with the handset attached to the body and using an
earphone.
** Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR): Measured value of continuous calling at
6 minute intervals.
Our technical standards for body SAR include the U.S. Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) standards and information from
Europe. For more information see the sections on "FCC RF Exposure
Information" and "European RF Exposure Information."
*** Placement on the body: Measurements were taken with the rear of the
phone facing the body at a distance of 1.5 cm as the normal position of
the handset. In order to maintain compliance with radio frequency (RF)
exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm
separation distance between the body and the back of the handset.
Choose accessories, such as belt clips and holsters, that do not contain
metallic components.
