79Radio frequency (RF) signalsTHIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTSFOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designedand manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposureto radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal CommunicationsCommission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of compre-hensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for thegeneral population. The guidelines are based on standards that weredeveloped by independent scientific organizations through periodicand thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards includea substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of allpersons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit ofmeasurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SARlimit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted usingstandard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phonetransmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequencybands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified powerlevel, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be wellbelow the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed tooperate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power requiredto reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless basestation antenna, the lower the power output.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be testedand certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit establishedby the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The testsare performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn onthe body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR values,as reported to the FCC for this model phone are:• 1.34 W/kg when tested for use at the ear, and• 1.31 W/kg when worn on the body (as described in this user guide).(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending uponavailable accessories and FCC requirements). While there may bedifferences between the SAR levels of various phones and at variouspositions, they all meet the government requirement.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phonewith all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCCRF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on filewith the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section ofhttp://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: GMLNSD-1AW.For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposureguidelines, use only Nokia approved accessories. When carrying thephone while it is on, use the specific Nokia belt-clip that has beentested for compliance.
