Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Information for this Product
・This product "203Z" meets international guidelines on radio
wave protection.
This product is designed to abide by permitted levels for
radio wave protection as recommended by international
guidelines. These international guidelines are set forth
by the World Health Organization in cooperation with the
ICNIRP**, and the permitted levels provide a sufficient
safety margin regardless of age and health of the user.
International guidelines define the permitted levels of
exposure for radio wave protection by an averaged Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit for this communication terminal is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg). The highest SAR value for this product is
0.584 W/kg when used in the following prescribed manner.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
individual products, all products meet the permitted levels.
・Use close to the body
To use this product close to the body, maintain a separation
of 1.0 cm from the body. This will ensure this product
meets international guidelines on 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."
*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).
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection.

FCC RF Exposure Information
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed
by independent scientific organization through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model handset as reported to
the FCC when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is
0.51 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical
body-worn operations with the back of the handset kept
1.0 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.0
cm separation distance between the user's body and the back
of the handset. The use of beltclips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic components in its
assembly.
The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements
may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and
should be avoided.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR
information on this model handset is on file with the FCC
and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on FCC ID Q78-
MF98PUSH.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on FCC Radio Frequency Safety website at http://

Electromagnetic Safety
For body worn operation, this mobile phone has been tested
and meets RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory
containing no metal and positioning the handset a minimum 10
mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
