Specific Absorption Rate (Sar) Of Mobile Phones - Sharp Aquos Zeta SH-04F Instruction Manual

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of
Mobile Phones
This model SH-04F 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 (*1) and
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 at the
ear is 0.366 W/kg and when worn on the body is 0.495 W/kg (*2).
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.
This mobile phone can be used in positions other than against your
ear. 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 health effects have been established as being caused by
mobile phone use."

information.

European RF Exposure Information
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 is 0.381 W/kg
For body-worn operation, this mobile device has been tested and
meets the RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
containing no metal and positioning the handset a minimum of
1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices 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 reach the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
Declaration of Conformity
In some countries/regions including Europe, there are restrictions on the use
of 5GHz WLAN that may limit the use to indoors only.
If you intend to use 5GHz WLAN on the device, check the local laws and
regulations beforehand.
Hereby, Sharp Telecommunications of Europe Ltd, declares that this
SH-04F is in compliance with the essential requirements and other
relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

Information to User
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
of a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation; if this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
1. Reorient/relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
