Guidelines for safe and efficient use Guidelines for safe and efficient use Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Further detailed information is given in this manual. Exposure to radio frequency energy Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information This mobile phone model KE970 has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. v The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardised methods with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands. v While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various LG phone models, they are all designed to meet the relevant guidelines for exposure to radio waves. v The SAR limit recommended by the International Commission on NonIonizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue. v The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.443 W/kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.245 W/kg (10g). v SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1) gram of tissue (for example USA, Canada, Australia and Taiwan). 7
