SAR Certification
941SC meets the technical standards of Ministry of Internal Affairs
and Communications (MIC) regarding radio wave absorption by a
human body.
These technical standards are established on a scientific basis to prevent
radio waves emitted from wireless devices such as mobile phones that are
used close to human head from affecting human health. These standards
assure that the SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), an indicator of the amount of
average energy absorbed in the side of a human head, must not exceed the
permissive value of 2W/kg*. This value includes a substantial safety margin
designated to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and physical
size. The value is equal to the international guideline recommended by
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) that
has a cooperative relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for 941SC is 0.212 W/kg. This value is obtained
in accordance with the MIC testing procedure with the mobile phone
transmitting at its highest permitted power level. While there may be
differences in the SAR levels depending on phones, they all meet the MIC's
permissible value. Because mobile phones are designed to employ the
minimum power level required for the communication with the base station,
the SAR of the phone during a call is usually below the maximum value.

* The guideline is defined by relevant laws and regulations associated with the
Radio Law (No. 2 of Article 14 of Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment).
SoftBank's Body SAR Policy
* Body SAR: The SAR value at the maximum transmission power when
continuously talking with handset placed on the body and using earphone-
microphone.
** Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): The value measured when having talked
continuously for 6 minutes.
*** Placement on the body: Measurements are taken with the rear of handset
facing the body at a distance of 1.5 cm as the ordinary handset position.
In order to comply with radio frequency exposure requirements, use an
accessory (e.g. belt clip, holster) that does not contain metallic parts to
maintain a 1.5 cm separation between the body and handset.
