Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.
This mobile phone model LG-K580Y has been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These
requirements are based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
• The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standardised methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands.
• While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG phone
models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure
to radio waves.
• The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on Non-
Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2 W/kg averaged over 10 g of
tissue.
• The highest SAR value for this model phone tested for use at the ear is
0.562 W/kg (10 g) and when worn on the body is 1.340 W/Kg (10 g).
• This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal
use position against the ear or when positioned at least 5 mm away from
the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn
operation, it should not contain metal and should position the product
at least 5 mm away from your body. In order to transmit data files or
messages, this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some
cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until such a
connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions
are followed until the transmission is completed.
