THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-P342i) MEETS THE EU
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are
part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent
scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended
by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been
conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to
a base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the
European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one
essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user
and any other person. The SAR value for this model phone, when tested for
use at the ear, for compliance against the standard was 0.597 W/kg. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national
reporting requirements and the network band.
