Specific absorption rate (SAR) of mobile phone
This model F-04C 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 0.659 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 present
scientific information does not indicate that there are harmful effects attributed
to the use of mobile devices. They recommend that if you are worried about
your exposure then you can limit your usage or simply use a hands-free kit to
keep the mobile device away from the head and body.
Please refer to the WHO website if you would like more detailed information.

Technical regulations are defined by the Ministerial Ordinance Related to Radio Law
(Article 14-2 of Radio Equipment Regulations).
*2
Regarding the method of measuring SAR when using mobile phones in positions other
than against the ear, international standards (IEC62209-2) were set in March of 2010.
On the other hand, technical regulation is currently being deliberated on by national
council. (As of November, 2010)
The product "F-04C" is declared to conform with the essential requirements of
European Union Directive 1999/5/EC Radio and Telecommunications Terminal
Equipment Directive 3.1(a), 3.1(b) and 3.2.The Declaration of Conformity can be
found on http://www.fmworld.net/product/phone/doc/.
This mobile phone complies with the EU requirements for exposure to radio
waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transceiver, designed and manufactured not to
exceed the SAR
*
limits
**
for exposure to radio-frequency(RF) energy, which
SAR
*
value, when tested for compliance against the standard was 0.508W/Kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR
*
levels of various phones and
at various positions, they all meet
***
the EU requirements for RF exposure.
* The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
