please do not cover the antenna area with your
hand. Covering the antenna affects call quality
and may cause the handset to operate at a
higher power level than required. This decreases
talk and standby time.
Radio frequency energy
Your handset is a low-power radio transmitter
and receiver. When it is turned on, it receives
and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio
waves). The system that handles the call (the
network) controls the power level at which the
handset transmits.
A Further detailed information is given in this
manual.
Exposure to radio frequency
energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR) information
A This handset model U400 has been designed
to comply with safety, requirements for
exposure to radio waves. This requirement is
based on scientific guidelines that include
safety margins designed to assure the safety
of all persons, regardless of age and health
A The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a
unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are
conducted using a standardised method with
the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all used frequency bands
A 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
A The SAR limit recommended by the
International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), is 2W/kg
averaged over ten (10) gramme of tissue
A The highest SAR value for this model phone
tested by DASY3 for use at the ear is 0.772
W/kg (10g)
A The SAR limit recommended by the Institute
of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE),
which is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one (1)
gramme of tissue (for example USA, Canada,
Australia and Taiwan).
