Sar - Mitsubishi Electric M430i User Manual

INTRODUCTION
T hank you for purchasing the M430i (GSM, DCS, PCS) mobile telephone. The mobile telephone
described in this guide is approved for use on all GSM 900, DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 networks.
Some of the messages displayed on your mobile may be different according to your subscription
type and/or service provider.
As with all types of radio transceivers, this mobile telephone emits electromagnetic waves and com-
plies with international regulations when it is used under normal conditions and in accordance with
the safety and warning messages given below.

THIS M430i PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Before a mobile phone is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE di-
rective(1999/5/EC) must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protec-
tion of the health and the safety of the user and any other person.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of the European
1
Union . These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF en-
ergy for the general public. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations
through periodic, thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones (CENELEC standard EN 50360: 2001) employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard op-
erating positions (with reference to CENELEC standard EN 50361: 2001) with the phone transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below
the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so
as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base sta-
tion antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for this M430i model when tested for compliance against the standard was
0,754 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at var-
ious positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.

Individuals:
Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions
for use of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their
children's' RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to keep mobile
phones away from the head and body.
RF absorbing devices: Scientific evidence does not indicate any need for RF-absorbing covers or
other "absorbing devices" on mobile phones. They cannot be justified on health grounds and the ef-
fectiveness of many such devices in reducing RF exposure is unproven.

1. European recommendation 1999/519/EC
2. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection
for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
3. The maximum level of GSM emitted power is 250mW at 900 MHz and 125 mW at 1800 MHz
according to the GSM standard.
