Radio wave exposure and Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information
Your VAIO computer has been designed to comply with applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio waves. These requirements are based on scientific guideIines that include safety margins designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
