frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation; if this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
●
● Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
● Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
● Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.
FCC RF Exposure Information
931N is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientifi c organization
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The infl uence on the human body of radio waves emitted from mobile phones is measured employing
a unit known as the Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The tests
are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC
for each model.
The maximum SAR value for this model handset when tested for use at the ear is 0.274 W/kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this guide, is 0.451 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
handset kept 1.5 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use
accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance between the user's body and the back of the
handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components
in its assembly. Non-compliance with the above restrictions may result in violation of FCC RF Exposure
guidelines.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, and should be avoided. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model handset is on fi le with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/GenericSearch.cfm after searching on FCC ID
A98-7N4S13A.

European RF Exposure Information
931N is a radio transmitter and receiver. This product has been confirmed not to exceed the limits
recommended by international guidelines for radio frequency.
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientifi c organization International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The infl uence on the human body of radio waves emitted from mobile phones is measured employing
a unit known as the Specifi c Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg. The
maximum SAR value for this model handset, when placed on the ear, is XXXXX W/kg*. As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described
in SoftBank's Body SAR Policy. In this case, the maximum SAR value is XXXXX W/kg.
Since the SAR is measured at the highest transmitting power level, the actual SAR during a call is
usually much lower. This is because mobile phones are designed to operate at their minimum power
levels necessary to communicate with base stations.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that present scientific information about mobile
phone use does not indicate any adverse effects on the human body. They recommend limiting talking
time or using a handsfree device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body to reduce
infl uence of exposure to radio waves.
Additional information can be found at the WHO website:

* Measurements with handset placed on the body are carried out in accordance with the FCC standards.
The values are based on European requirements.
931N is declared to conform with the essential requirements of European Union Directive 1999/5/EC
Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 3.1(a), 3.1(b) and 3.2.
The Declaration of Conformity can be found on the following website: http://www.n-keitai.com/
