Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR)
706P meets the government's requirements for exposure
to radio waves.
These requirements are based on scientific basis to assure
that radio waves emitted from mobile phones and other
handheld wireless devices do not affect human health.
They require that the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR),
which is the unit of measurement for the amount of
radiofrequency absorbed by the body, shall not exceed
2 W/kg*. This limit includes a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age or health, and meets the international standard set by
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) in cooperation with World Health
Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for 706P is 0.850 W/kg. Tests for
SAR are conducted with handset transmitting at its
highest certified power level, and follow the testing
methods set by the government. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels for various handsets,
they all meet the governmental requirements for safe
exposure. The actual SAR level of the handset while
operating can be well below the highest value. This is
because the handset is designed to operate at multiple
xxviii
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the Network.

Radio Equipment, Article 14-2).
