Safety Precautions
SoftBank 007SH
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
SoftBank 007SH 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 radiofrequency
absorbed by the body, shall not exceed 2 W/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).
The highest SAR value of SoftBank 007SH is 0.437 W/kg. SAR
tests were conducted with handset transmitting at its highest
certified power level in accordance with testing methods
set by the government. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels for various handsets, they all meet
the governmental requirements for safe exposure. The actual
SAR level of the handset while operating can be well below
the highest value.
This is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
Network.
Additional information on SAR can be obtained on the
following Websites.

Water & Dust Resistance
Water & Dust Resistance
SoftBank 007SH complies with IPX5 (former JIS protection
level 5)
1
and IPX7 (former JIS protection level 7)
2
water
protection standards as well as IP5X (JIS protection level 5)
3
dust protection standard, with Port Cover and Battery Cover
closed firmly.

1
IPX5 compliant means that a handset continues to
function as a phone after being subjected to a water jet
(approximately 12.5 liters/min.) discharged from a nozzle
(inner diameter: 6.3 mm), from all directions (approximately 3
m from handset) for at least 3 minutes.
2
IPX7 compliant means that a handset continues to function
as a phone after being gently submerged to the depth of
1 m in still tap water at room temperature, left there for
approximately 30 minutes, then removed from it.
3
IP5X compliant means that a handset continues to function
as a phone and its safety is maintained after being agitated in
a device containing dust of 75 μm or smaller in diameter for 8
hours, then removed from the device.
・Water/dust resistance may be affected under some
circumstances. Malfunction resulting from misuse is not
covered by the warranty.
・SoftBank 007SH is compliant with IPX5, IPX7 and IP5X
water/dust protection standards. However, ingress of dirt,
sand, mud, metal powder, food, beverage, etc. may cause
malfunction.
■Important Notes
・Close Battery Cover and Port Cover firmly. Debris (hair,
sand, fibers, etc.) trapped between Cover and base may
expose handset to liquid/dust.
・If Battery/Port Cover is left open liquid exposure may cause
handset malfunction/electric shock. Power off, then remove
battery.
・If handset is wet, wipe it with dry cloth.
・Do not open/close Battery/Port Cover with wet hands or
while handset is wet.
・Handset is only water resistant against fresh/tap water
