RF Exposure Information/Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) Information
This mobile phone 103P meets the MIC's**** technical regulation for
exposure to radio waves.
The technical regulation* established permitted levels of radio
frequency energy, based on standards developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies.
The regulation employs 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 international guidelines
recommended by ICNIRP*****.
The highest SAR value for this mobile phone is 0.889 W/kg when
tested for use at the ear.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, all phones meet 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.
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 1.5 cm
separation with no metal (parts) between the body and the mobile
phone, this mobile phone will comply with international guidelines for
radio wave protection (***).
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.”

* The technical regulation is provided in Article 14-2 of the Ministry
Ordinance Regulating Radio Equipment.
** Provided for in “Radio-radiation protection guidelines”, reported in
1997 by the Telecommunications Technology Council, Ministry of
Posts and Telecommunications.
*** A method of measuring SAR when a mobile phone is used at
positions other than at the ear was established in March 2010
through an international standard (IEC62209-2). MIC technical
regulation was reported in October 2011 by the Information and
Communications Council.
