SoftBank 940SH Started Manual page 20

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
940SH 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
This limit 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.
940SH has been granted Technical Regulations
Conformity Certification by TELECOM
ENGINEERING CENTER. Its highest SAR value
is 0.501 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.
Additional information on SAR can be obtained on
the following Websites.
