[ 129 ]Reference information• CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOREXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVESYour mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed andmanufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency(RF) energy set by Industry Canada. These limits are part of comprehensiveguidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the generalpopulation. The guidelines are based on standards that were developedby independent scientific organisations through periodic and thoroughevaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safetymargin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of ageand health.The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurementknown as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by theIndustry Canada is 1.6 W/kg* Tests for SAR are conducted using standardoperating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certifiedpower level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determinedat the highest certified power level, the actual SAR of the phone whileoperating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phoneis designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a basestation, the lower the power output of the phone.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance withthe Canadian Standard must be shown. The highest SAR value for this modelphone when tested for use at the ear is 1.18 W/Kg and when worn on thebody, as described in this user guide is 0.96 W/Kg.(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending uponavailable enhancements and Industry Canada requirements).While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phonesand at various positions, they all meet the government requirement forRF exposure.* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram(W/kg) averaged over one gram of body tissue. The standard incorporatesa substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the publicand to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may varydepending on national reporting requirements and the network band. ForSAR information in other regions please look under product informationat www.nokia.com.
