Sar Certification - SoftBank 920SC User Manual

SAR Certification

920SC meets the technical standards of Ministry of Internal Affairs and
Communications (MIC) regarding radio wave absorption by a human
body.
These technical standards are established on a scientific basis to prevent
radio waves emitted from wireless devices such as mobile phones that are
used close to human head from affecting human health. These standards
assure that the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), an indicator of the
amount of average energy absorbed in the side of a human head, must
not exceed the permissive value of 2W/kg*. This value includes a
substantial safety margin designated to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and physical size. The value is equal to the international
guideline recommended by International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) that has a cooperative relationship with the
World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for 920SC is 0.393 W/kg. This value is obtained in
accordance with the MIC testing procedure with the mobile phone
transmitting at its highest permitted power level. While there may be
differences in the SAR levels depending on phones, they all meet the
MIC's permissible value. Because mobile phones are designed to employ
the minimum power level required for the communication with the base
station, the SAR of the phone during a call is usually below the maximum
value.

with the Radio Law (No. 2 of Article 14 of Ordinance Regulating Radio
Equipment).
