Specific Absorption Rate (Sar) - SoftBank 940P User Manual

* Requirements are stipulated in Radio Law (Ordinance Regulating Radio
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Equipment, Article 14-2).
940P meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio
waves.
These requirements are based on scientific basis to assure that
radio waves emitted from mobile phones and other handheld
wireless devices do not affect human health. They require that
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radiofrequency absorbed by the
head, shall not exceed 2 W/kg*. This limit includes a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age or health, and meets the international standard
set by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) in cooperation with 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.
940P has been granted Technical Regulations Conformity
Certification by TELECOM ENGINEERING CENTER. Its highest SAR
value is 0.419 W/kg. This value was obtained by TELECOM
ENGINEERING CENTER as part of the certification process. SAR
tests were conducted with handset transmitting at its highest
certified power level in accordance with testing methods set by
the government. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels for various handsets, they all meet the governmental
requirements for safe exposure. The actual SAR level of the
handset while operating can be well below the highest value. This
is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the Network.
