Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of Mobile
Phones
This model P-01K mobile phone complies with Japanese technical regulations
and international guidelines regarding exposure to radio waves.
This mobile phone was designed in observance of Japanese technical
regulations regarding exposure to radio waves (*1) and limits to exposure to
radio waves recommended by a set of equivalent international guidelines.
This set of international guidelines was 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 technical regulations and international guidelines set out limits for radio
waves as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR, which is the value of absorbed
energy in any 10 grams of tissue over a 6-minute period. The SAR limit for
mobile phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this mobile phone when
tested for use near the head is 0.558 W/kg (*2) and when worn on the body is
0.996 W/kg (*3). There may be slight differences between the SAR levels for
each product, but they all satisfy the limit.
The actual SAR of this mobile phone while operating can be well below that
indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the
device to ensure it only uses the minimum required to reach the network.
Therefore in general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power
output of the device.
This mobile phone can be used in positions other than against your head.
Please keep the mobile phone farther than 1.0 cm away from your body by
using such as a carrying case or a wearable accessory without including any
metals. This mobile phone satisfies the technical regulations and international
guidelines.
The World Health Organization has stated that "a large number of studies have
been performed over the last two decades to assess whether mobile phones
pose a potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects have been
established as being caused by mobile phone use."
