THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-GD67) MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR

EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and

manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)

energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits

are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF

energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by

independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough

evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin

designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement

known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit

recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests

for SAR have been conducted using standard operating positions 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 base station antenna, the lower

the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the

European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one

essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the

user and any other person. The SAR value for this model phone, when

tested for use at the ear, for compliance against the standard was

0.505 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of

various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements

for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram

(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a

substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and

to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary

depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. For
