Specic Absorption Rate 
(SAR) of Cell Phone
This model [HWV32] cell phone complies 
with Japanese technical regulations for 
exposure to radio waves and international 
guidelines on radio wave protection.
This cell phone has been designed in 
observance of the Japanese technical 
regulations regarding exposure to 
radio waves 
*1
 and limits to exposure 
to radio waves recommended by 
equivalent international guidelines. These 
international guidelines were 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 Japanese technical regulations and 
international guidelines dene the limits 
using a unit of measurement known as 
the Specic Absorption Rate (SAR), 
which represents the average amount of 
radio frequency energy absorbed by the 
human. The SAR limit for cell phones is 
2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this 
cell phone when tested for use near the 
head is 1.123W/kg
*2
. The highest SAR 
value for this cell phone when tested for 
use on the body is 0.86W/kg
