About the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of Mobile Phones, etc.
Mobile Phone GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900&UMTS JP/EU/US
SAR Certification Information
This model phone FOMA SO906i meets the MIC's* technical regulation for exposure
to radio waves.
The technical regulation established permitted levels of radio frequency energy, based on
standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The regulation employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg)** averaged over
ten grams of tissue. The limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health. The value of the limit is equal to the international
guidelines recommended by ICNIRP***.
All phone models should be confirmed to comply with the regulation, before they are available
for sale to the public. The highest SAR value for this model phone is 0.346 W/kg. It was taken by
the Telecom Engineering Center (TELEC), a Registered Certification Agency on the Radio Law.
The test for SAR was conducted in accordance with the MIC testing procedure using standard
operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest permitted power level in all tested
frequency bands. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet the MIC's technical regulation. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR of the phone during operation can be well
below the maximum value.

Radio Wave Exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Information
United States & Canada
THIS PHONE MODEL HAS BEEN CERTIFIED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
The SO906i mobile phones have been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to
not exceed the limits* of exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by governmental authorities.
These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are
based on standards that were developed by international scientific organizations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all individuals, regardless of age and health.
