This model 【IS15SH】 mobile phone complies with Japanese technical
regulations and international guidelines regarding exposure to radio
waves. This mobile phone has been designed in observance of the
Japanese technical regulations regarding exposure to radio waves
(*1) and limits to exposure to radio waves recommended by
equivalent international guidelines.
These international guidelines were set out by the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), which is
in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), and the
permissible limits include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health
condition. The Japanese technical regulations and international
guidelines define the limits using a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which represents the average
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the human head. The
SAR limit for mobile phones is 2.0 W/kg. The highest SAR value for this
mobile phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.316 W/kg. There may
be slight differences in SAR levels among individual products, but
they all satisfy the limit. The actual SAR of this mobile phone while
talking on the phone can be well below that indicated above. This is
due to automatic changes in the power level of the mobile phone to
ensure it only outputs the minimum power required to communicate
with a base station. Therefore in general, the closer you are to a base
station, the lower the power output of the mobile phone.
This mobile phone can be used in positions other than against your
ear. This mobile phone satisfies the international guidelines when
used with au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA) (sold separately)
recommended by KDDI (*2).
In case you are not using the au Carrying Case F Black (0105FCA)
(sold separately), use a product that contains no metal parts, and one
that can hold the mobile phone at least 1.5 cm away from your body.
The World Health Organization has stated that “a large number of
studies have been performed over the last two decades to assess
whether mobile phones pose a potential health risk. To date, no
adverse health effects have been established as being caused by
mobile phone use.” If you would like to know more detailed
information, please refer to the WHO website.

Please refer to the websites listed below if you would like to know
more detailed information regarding SAR.
*1 Technical regulations are defined by the Ministerial Ordinance Related to the Radio Law
(Article 14-2 of Radio Equipment Regulations).
*2 Regarding the method of measuring SAR when using mobile phones in positions other than
against the ear, international standards (IEC62209-2) were set in March of 2010. On the other
hand, technical regulation is currently being deliberated on by national council (As of October,
2011).
