international.guidelines.for.exposure.to.radio.waves.
The Japanese technical regulations for exposure to radio frequency energy
established permitted levels of radio frequency energy, based on standards
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies.
The regulations employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit is 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue.
The limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The value of the limit is equal to the value given in international guidelines
recommended by ICNIRP**, which is in collaboration with the World Health
Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is 0.846 W/kg when tested for used
at the ear, and 0.640 W/kg*** when worn on the body in the below
manner****.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, all phones meet the Japanese technical regulations.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual
SAR of the phone during operation can be well below the maximum value.
Use.at.positions.other.than.at.the.ear****
This mobile phone may be used at positions other than at the ear. By using an
accessory such as a belt clip holster that maintains a 10 mm separation with no
metal (parts) between it and the body and the mobile phone, this mobile phone
will comply with international guidelines for radio wave protection.
* The technical regulations are provided in Article 14-2 of the Ministry Ordinance
Regulating Radio Equipment.
** International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
*** The value is under simultaneous transmission use conditions.
The World Health Organization has announced 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. "
