Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR), etc. of Mobile Phones
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
of Mobile Phones
This model L-01D mobile phone complies with
Japanese technical regulations and international
guidelines regarding exposure to radio waves.
This mobile phone was designed in observance of
Japanese technical regulations regarding exposure
to radio waves *
1
and limits to exposure to radio waves
recommended by a set of equivalent international
guidelines. This set of international guidelines was set
out by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is in collaboration
with the World Health Organization (WHO), and the
permissible limits include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless
of age and health condition.
The technical regulations and international guidelines
set out limits for radio waves as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR, which is the value of absorbed energy
in any 10 grams of tissue over a 6-minute period. The
SAR limit for mobile phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest
SAR value for this mobile phone when tested for use at
the ear is 0.380 W/kg. There may be slight differences
between the SAR levels for each product, but they all
satisfy the limit.
The actual SAR of this mobile phone while operating
can be well below that indicated above. This is due to
automatic changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum required to reach the
network. Therefore in general, the closer you are to a
base station, the lower the power output of the device.
This mobile phone can be used in positions other
than against your ear. This mobile phone satisfies the
international guidelines when used with a carrying case
or a wearable accessory approved by NTT DOCOMO,
INC. * 2
In case you are not using the approved
accessory, please use a product that does not contain
any metals, and one that positions the mobile phone at
least 1.5 cm away from your body.
The World Health Organization has stated that "a large
number of studies have been performed over the last
two decades to assess whether mobile phones pose a
potential health risk. To date, no adverse health effects
have been established as being caused by mobile
phone use."
Please refer to the WHO website if you would like more
detailed information.
