Specific Absorption Rate (Sar) Of Cell Phones - Samsung Galaxy Note9 Basic Manual

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of cell
phones
This model Galaxy Note9 mobile phone complies with
Japanese technical regulations and international guidelines
regarding exposure to radio waves.
This product has been designed in observance of the
Japanese technical regulations regarding exposure to
radio waves (*1) and limits to exposure to radio waves
recommended by equivalent international guidelines. These
international guidelines were set out by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP),
which is in collaboration with the World Health Organization
(WHO), and the permissible limits include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health condition.
The Japanese technical regulations and international
guidelines define the limits using a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which
represents the average amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the human head. The SAR limit for mobile
phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this model
handset when tested for use at the ear is 0.862 W/kg
and when worn on the body is 0.903 W/kg
slight differences in SAR levels among individual products,
but they all satisfy the limit.
The actual SAR of this mobile phone while talking on the
phone can be well below that indicated above. This is due
to automatic changes in the power level of the mobile
phone to ensure it only outputs the minimum power required
to communicate with a base station. Therefore in general,
the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power
output of the mobile phone.

This mobile phone can be used in positions other than
against your ear. Use an accessory such as a carrying case,
etc. so that you can hold the product at least 1.5 cm away
from your body and also do not contain metal parts between
the product and your body. By doing this, this mobile
phone complies with Japanese technical regulations and
international guidelines regarding exposure to radio waves.
The World Health Organization has stated that present
scientific information does not indicate that use of mobile
devices has any harmful effects on the human body. They
recommend that if you are still worried about your exposure
then you can limit your talk time or use a handsfree kit to
keep the mobile phone away from your head and body. If you
would like to know more detailed information, please refer to
the WHO website.
