SoftBank 816SH User Manual page 30

816SH meets the government's requirements for
exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are based on scientific basis to assure
that radio waves emitted from mobile phones and other
handheld wireless devices do not affect human health. They
require that the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is
the unit of measurement for the amount of radiofrequency
absorbed by the body, shall not exceed 2 W/k
includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age or health, and meets
the international standard set by International Commission
on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in
cooperation with World Health Organization (WHO).
All mobile phones, prior to product launch, must be certified as
compliant with government requirements as stipulated by the
Radio Law. 816SH has been granted Technical Regulations
Conformity Certification by TELECOM ENGINEERING
CENTER. Its highest SAR value is 0.906 W/k . This value was
obtained by TELECOM ENGINEERING CENTER as part of
the certification process. SAR tests were conducted with
handset transmitting at its highest certified power level in
accordance with testing methods set by the government. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels for various
handsets, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe
exposure. The actual SAR level of the handset while operating
can be well below the highest value. This is because the
handset is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the Network.
