THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-GD76) MEETS 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) recommended by
international guidelines (ICNIRP). 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 guidelines 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 stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are 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 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, the lower the power output of the phone.
The SAR value for this model phone, when tested for use at the ear, for compliance
with the guidelines was 0.669 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the relevant
international guidelines 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 body tissue. The guidelines incorporate 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 SAR information in other regions please look
