Important Information
THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-G60U) 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 evalu-
ation 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 measure-
ment known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit rec-
ommended by The Council of the European Union is 1.6 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 1.0 W/kg averaged over a 10g mass. While there may be differ-
ences 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 1.6 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 re-
porting requirements and the network band.
