European Union – RTTE
THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-X701) MEETS THE EU 
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the 
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. 
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the 
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organisations through 
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin 
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific 
Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is                  
*2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard operating positions with the phone 
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is 
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be 
well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels 
so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station 
antenna, the lower the power output of the phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive 
must be shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the 
safety for the user and any other person. The SAR value for this model phone, when tested for use at the 
ear** for compliance against the standard, was **0.484 W/kg, and when worn on the body, measured with 
1.5 cm air gap, was 0.697 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones 
and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements for RF exposure.
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations using the carry case model EB-YKX700, which 
provides 1.6 cm separation distance from the body, and also tested with the back of the phone kept           
1.5 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with RF exposure requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters 
or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5 cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back 
of the phone, including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should not 
contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements 
may not comply with RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
*The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams 
of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public 
and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting 
requirements and the network band.
