Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of Mobile Phones
*1
This model phone FOMA N702iS meets the MIC's
technical regulation for exposure to radio waves. The
technical regulation established permitted levels of radio frequency energy, based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The regulation employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
*2
SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit includes a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The value of the limit
*3
is equal to the international guidelines recommended by ICNIRP
.
All phone models should be confirmed to comply with the regulation, before they are available for sale to the
public. The highest SAR value for this model phone FOMA N702iS is 0.717 W/kg. It was taken by the Telecom
Engineering Center (TELEC), a Registered Certification Agency on the Radio Law. The test for SAR was
conducted in accordance with the MIC testing procedure using standard operating positions with the phone
transmitting at its highest permitted power level in all tested frequency bands. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the MIC's technical
regulation. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR of the phone
during operation can be well below the maximum value.
