73"QQFOEiY*OEFYSpecific Absorption Rate (SAR) ofcell phonesThis model GALAXY Note 3 mobile phone complies withJapanese technical regulations and international guidelinesregarding exposure to radio waves. This mobile phone hasbeen designed in observance of the Japanese technicalregulations regarding exposure to radio waves (* 1) and limitsto exposure to radio waves recommended by equivalentinternational guidelines.These international guidelines were set out by theInternational Commission on Non-Ionizing RadiationProtection (ICNIRP), which is in collaboration with theWorld Health Organization (WHO), and the permissiblelimits include a substantial safety margin designed toassure the safety of all persons, regardless of age andhealth condition. The Japanese technical regulations andinternational guidelines define the limits using a unit ofmeasurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR),which represents the average amount of radio frequencyenergy absorbed by the human head. The SAR limit formobile phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for thismobile phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.172 W/kg. There may be slight differences in SAR levels amongindividual products, but they all satisfy the limit. The actualSAR of this mobile phone while talking on the phone can bewell below that indicated above. This is due to automaticchanges in the power level of the mobile phone to ensure itonly outputs the minimum power required to communicatewith a base station. Therefore in general, the closer you areto a base station, the lower the power output of the mobilephone.This mobile phone can be used in positions other thanagainst your ear. This mobile phone satisfies the internationalguidelines when used with au Carrying Case G black(0106FCA) (sold separately) recommended by KDDI (*2).In case you are not using the au Carrying Case G black(0106FCA) (sold separately), use a product that containsno metal parts, and one that can hold the mobile phone atleast 1.5 cm away from your body.The World Health Organization has stated that presentscientific information does not indicate that use of mobiledevices has any harmful effects on the human body. Theyrecommend that if you are still worried about your exposurethen you can limit your talk time or use a handsfree kit tokeep the mobile phone away from your head and body.

On the other hand, Japanese technical regulation is currentlyunder deliberation by the Committee for Radio Wave Utilization Environmentset up in the Information and Communication Technology Group of the AdvisoryCommittee on Information and Communications.
