Please read these simple guidelines.
Not following these guidelines may
be dangerous or illegal.
Exposure to radio
frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) information
This mobile phone model KF300
has been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves. These
requirements are based on scientifi c
guidelines that include safety margins
designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
vThe radio wave exposure guidelines
employ a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standardized
method with the phone transmitting
at its highest certified power level in
all used frequency bands.
vWhile 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.
vThe SAR limit recommended by
the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over
10g of tissue.
vThe highest SAR value for this
model phone tested by DASY4 for
use at the ear is 0.833 W/kg (10g)
and when worn on the body is
0.594 W/kg (10g).
vSAR 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 1g of tissue.
