European RF Exposure
Information
Your Toshiba phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific
organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit for mobile devices is 2W/kg and the
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear
was 0.666W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest
transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device
while operating is typically below that indicated
above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that
present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile devices. They state that if you want to
reduce your exposure then you can do so by
limiting the length of calls or using a ‘hands-free’
device to keep the mobile phone away from the
head and body. Additional Information can be
found on the website of the World Health
Organization (http://www.who.int/emf).
* The tests are carried out in accordance with
international guidelines for testing.
