Exposure to radio frequency energy
Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) 
information
This mobile phone model GU200 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 assure this 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 method 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), which is 2 W/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 0.444 W/Kg (10g) and when worn on the body is 0.512 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), which is 1.6 W/Kg averaged over one (1) 
gram of tissue.
