Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information This mobile phone model BL40 has been 

designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are 

based on scientific guidelines that include safety margins designed to assure the 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 standardised 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 10g 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).
