Specific Absorption Rate of
Mobile Phone, etc.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
of Mobile Phones
This model SO-02L 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
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 0.77 W/
(*2)
kg
and when worn on the body is 0.82 W/
(*3)
kg
. 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.

and
This mobile phone can be used in positions
other than against your head. Please keep
the mobile phone farther than 1.5 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
