SAR Certification Information
001N meets the technical standards set by the
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications
(MIC) regarding radio wave absorption by a
human body.
These technical standards have been established
on a scientific basis to prevent radio waves
emitted from wireless devices such as mobile
phones from affecting human health. These
standards require that the SAR (Specific
Absorption Rate), an indicator of the amount of
average radio frequency energy absorbed in the
side of a human head, must not exceed 2 W/kg*.
This value includes a substantial safety margin to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and physical size. The value is equal to the
international guideline recommended by the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) that has a
cooperative relationship with the World Health
Organization (WHO).
* The technical standards are stipulated in the
Radio Law (Article 14-2 of Ordinance
Regulating Radio Equipment).
The highest SAR value is 0.541 W/kg for 001N.
This value was obtained in accordance with the
MIC testing procedure with handset transmitting
at its highest permitted power level. While there
may be differences in SAR levels for various
handsets, they all meet the MIC’s permissible
value. Because mobile phones are designed to
operate at their minimum power level required to
communicate with base stations, the actual SAR
of handset during a call is usually below the
highest value.
For more information about SAR, see the
following websites:
･Ministry of Internal Affairs and
Communications (MIC)
http://www.tele.soumu.go.jp/e/sys/ele/index.htm
･Association of Radio Industries and Businesses
(ARIB)
http://www.arib-emf.org/
(Japanese)
SoftBank’s Body SAR Policy
･Body SAR: Value obtained from continuously
talking with handset placed on the body using
earphone-microphone at maximum
transmission power.
･Specific Absorption Rate (SAR): Value obtained
from talking continuously for six minutes.
･Placement on the body: Measurements are
taken with the rear of handset facing the body
at a distance of 1.5 cm as the standard handset
position. In order to comply with radio
frequency exposure requirements, use an
accessory (e.g. belt clip, holster) that does not
contain metallic parts to maintain a 1.5 cm
separation between the body and handset.

FCC RF Exposure Information
001N 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 to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The influence on the human body of radio waves
emitted from mobile phones is measured
employing a unit known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (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 maximum SAR value for this model handset
when tested for use at the ear is X.XX W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is X.XX W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; this device was tested for
typical body-worn operations with the back of
handset kept 1.5 cm from the body. To maintain
compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements,
use accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm separation
distance between the user’s body and the back of
handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar
accessories should not contain metallic
components in its assembly. Non-compliance
with the above restrictions may result in violation
of FCC RF Exposure guidelines.
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
https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/oetcf/eas/reports/
GenericSearch.cfm
after searching on FCC ID A98-MQJ3588.
Additional information on Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) website:
http://www.phonefacts.net.
European RF Exposure Information
001N is a radio transmitter and receiver. This
product has been confirmed not to exceed the
limits recommended by international guidelines
for radio frequency.
These guidelines were developed by the
independent scientific organization International

Safety Precautions
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) and include a substantial
safety margin to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The influence on the human body of radio waves
emitted from mobile phones is measured
employing a unit known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2 W/kg. The maximum SAR value for
this model handset, when placed on the ear, is
0.677W/kg. As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in other positions,
such as on the body as described in SoftBank’s
Body SAR Policy. In this case, the maximum SAR
value is 0.321W/kg*.
Since the SAR is measured at the highest
transmitting power level, the actual SAR during a
call is usually much lower. This is because mobile
phones are designed to operate at their minimum
power levels necessary to communicate with base
stations.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated
that present scientific information about mobile
phone use does not indicate any adverse effects
on the human body. They recommend limiting
talk time or using a handsfree device to keep the
mobile phone away from the head and body to
reduce influence of exposure to radio waves.
Additional information can be found at the WHO
website:
http://www.who.int/emf
*Measurements with handset placed on the
body are carried out in accordance with the
FCC standards. The values are based on
European requirements.
