There is provided a portable communication device for minimizing the SAR of
electromagnetic waves. In the portable communication device, a slim upper housing
has an FBC on which a keypad is mounted, a lower housing is vertically spaced from
the slim upper housing by a predetermined distance and includes a PCB assembly,
and a middle housing is positioned between the slim upper housing and the lower
housing, spatially isolated from the lower housing by a separation plate to minimize
the adverse effects of electromagnetic waves generated from the PCB assembly, and
has a slot opened from the front end to hold an object in the lengthwise direction.
A sliding battery pack is insertable to and detachable from the middle housing
in the lengthwise direction.
