Effects of Radio Wave Exposure
per the FCC
The guidelines of the United States Federal
Communications Commission are based on
standards developed from results of regular
and careful scientific research conducted by
independent scientific institutions. These
permissible values are sufficiently safe values
regardless of the age or health of the user.
For the effect of radio waves transmitted by
mobile phones on the human body, Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) units are used for
measurements. The permissible value of SAR
prescribed by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
Measurement tests are conducted using
standards set forth by the FCC for each
model, and when placed next to the human
body according to the descriptions in this
Instruction Manual as shown in the
following, the permissible value of SAR is
0.836 W/kg.
When placed next to the body:
Measurement tests are conducted with the
back of the mobile phone facing the body at
a distance of 1.5 cm as the ordinary
placement to the body. In order to satisfy the
radio wave exposure regulations set by FCC,
use an accessory that fixes the mobile phone
at a distance of 1.5 cm from the body.

Choose a belt clip or holster without metal
parts.
The regulations set by FCC may not be
satisfied with accessories that do not fulfill
the above conditions. Avoid using them.

Effects of Radio Wave Exposure
per the EU
This handset is a radio transmitting/receiving
device. This product has been verified to not
exceed the permissible value of radio waves
recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines are developed by the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an
independent scientific institution, and the
permissible value is a sufficiently safe value
regardless of the age or health of the user.
For the effect of radio waves transmitted by
mobile phones on the human body, Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) units are used for
measurements. The SAR permissible value
for mobile devices is 2 W/kg, and the
maximum value for SAR when placed next to
the body is 0.96 W/kg*.
SAR measurements are conducted at the
maximum transmission power; therefore,
the normal SAR is even smaller in actual
talking conditions. This is because mobile
phones are designed for the minimum
transmission power required for
communicating with base stations.
The World Health Organization (WHO)
states that adverse effects on the human
body have not been confirmed from current
scientific data on the use of mobile devices.
The WHO also recommends shortening the
talk time or using a handsfree device that
allows use of a mobile phone away from the
head or body to reduce the effects of radio
waves. For details, access the WHO Web site.
