Radiofrequency (Rf) Exposure - Sharp 880SH User Manual

RADIOFREQUENCY (RF) EXPOSURE

General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When
it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you
communicate with your phone, the system handling
your call controls the power level at which your phone
transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to
radio waves recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the independent
scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety
margins designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for
mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for
this device when tested at the ear was 1.215 W/kg*. As
mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be
used in other positions, such as on the body as described
in this user guide**. In this case, the highest tested SAR
value is 0.981 W/kg.
As SAR is measured utilising the device's highest
transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while
operating is typically below that indicated above. This
is due to automatic changes to the power level of the
device to ensure it only uses the minimum level
required to communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with
international guidelines for testing.
** Please see the section below about body worn
operation.
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency
radiation (RF) exposure:
• To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines
the phone must be used with a minimum of 1.5 cm
separation from the body.
• Failure to observe these instructions could result in
your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline
limits.
