Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of
Mobile Phones
The FOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED 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 radio frequency radiation absorbed
by the body, shall not exceed 2W/kg*. 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 phone models should be confirmed
to comply with the regulation before they are
available for sale to the public. The highest SAR
value for the FOMA M2501 HIGH-SPEED is
X.XXXW/kg. It was taken by the Telecom
Engineering Center, a Registered Certification
Agency on the Radio Law. The test for SAR was
conducted in accordance with the MIC testing
procedure using standard operating position
with the phone transmitting at its highest
permitted power level in all tested frequency
bands. While there may be differences between
the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the MIC’s technical
regulation. 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.
For further information about SAR, please see
the following Web sites:
*: The technical regulation is provided in Article 14-2 of the
Ministry Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment.
Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE
U.S.GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone contains a radio transmitter
and receiver. Your phone is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits
for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission of
the U.S. Government.
These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF
energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on standards that were
developed by independent scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR
limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC
that it does not exceed the limit established by
the U.S. government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure.
The tests are performed on position and
locations (for example, at the ear and worn on
the body) as required by FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model phone as
reported to the FCC
●●when worn on the body, is
●●●0.49 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements). While there
may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the U.S. government requirement.
