NTT docomo FOMA SO906i User Manual page 487

The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized 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 phone models, they are all designed to meet the
relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves. For more information on SAR, please refer to the
safe and efficient use chapter in the User Guide.
The highest SAR value as reported to the authorities for this phone model when tested for use by
the ear is 0.44 W/kg*, and when worn on the body is 0.50 W/kg* for speech and 0.49 W/kg* for
data calls. Body worn measurements are made while the phone is in use and worn on the body
with a Sony Ericsson accessory supplied with or designated for use with this phone. It is therefore
recommended that only Ericsson and Sony Ericsson original accessories be used in conjunction
with Sony Ericsson phones.
**Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the US, it must be tested and certified
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that it does not exceed the limit established
by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure*. The tests are performed in positions
and locations (i.e., by the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The
FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this phone model with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones, all mobile phones granted an FCC equipment
authorization meet the government requirement for safe exposure. SAR information on this phone
model is on file at the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.
gov/oet/ea after searching on FCC ID PY7A3724011. Additional information on SAR can be found
on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website at
http://www.ctia.org/
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a margin
of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements.
** This paragraph is only applicable to authorities and customers in the United States.
