* In the United States and Canada, the SAR
limit for mobile phones used by the public
is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in
measurements.
** This paragraph is only applicable to
authorities and customers in the United

This mobile phone model SO-02D has been
designed to comply with applicable safety
requirements for exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are based on scientific
guidelines that include safety margins
designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines employ
a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standardized methods with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phone models, they are
all designed to meet the relevant guidelines
for exposure to radio waves.
For more information on SAR, please refer to
the safety chapter in the User's Guide.
SAR data information for residents in
countries that have adopted the SAR limit
recommended by the International
Commission of Non-lonizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP), which is 2 W/kg
averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue (for
example European Union, Japan, Brazil and
New Zealand):
The highest SAR value for this model phone
tested by Sony Ericsson for use at the ear is
1.33 W/kg (10g).
Radio Frequency (RF)
Exposure and SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio
transmitter and receiver.
When it is turned on, it emits low levels of
radio frequency energy (also known as radio
waves or radio frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted
comprehensive international safety
guidelines, developed by scientific
organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.),
through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. These guidelines establish
