Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
V201SH meets the government's requirements for exposure to radio waves.
These requirements are based on scientific basis to assure that radio waves emitted
from cellphones and other handheld wireless devices do not affect human health.
They require that the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), which is the unit of
measurement for the amount of radiofrequency absorbed by the body, shall not
exceed 2 W/kg*. This limit includes a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age or health, and meets the international standard
set by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in
cooperation with World Health Organization (WHO).
The highest SAR value for V201SH is 0.77 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted with
handset transmitting at its highest certified power level, and follow the testing methods
set by the government. While there may be differences between the SAR levels for
various handsets, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. The
actual SAR level of the handset while operating can be well below the highest value.
This is because the handset is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the Network.
Additional information on SAR can be obtained on the following Websites:
Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (Protection from Radio Wave
Environment)

Above values were calculated with
Backlight Brightness set to Level 4
(default).
^Continuous Talk Time is an average
measured with a new, fully charged
battery, at maximum output with both
Power Saving and Panel Saving off, with
stable signals.
^Continuous Standby Time is an average
measured with a new, fully charged
battery without calls or operations, in
Standby with stable signals. Standby Time
may be less than half this value if handset
is out-of-range or signal is weak. Standby
Time may vary by environment (battery
status, temperature, etc.).
^Continuous Operating Time is the length
of time handset keys can be pressed
continuously without calls.
^The above values (Battery Time) are
nominal values, measured under stable
signal conditions.
Battery Time may shorten when
handset is used in poor conditions:
^Poor Usage Conditions
BExtreme temperatures (use in ambient
