Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information
This mobile phone model KG275 has been designed to comply with applicable safety
requirement for exposure to radio waves. This requirement is based on scientific guidelines
that include safety margins designed to ensure safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
› The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are conducted using standardized methods with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all used frequency bands.
› While 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.
› The SAR limit recommended by the international Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) is 2W/kg averaged over ten (10) gram of tissue.
› The highest SAR value for this model phone tested by DASY4 for use at the ear is 0.956
W/kg (10g).
› SAR data information for residents in countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit
recommended by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.
