All rights reserved.■ Certification information(SAR)THIS MODEL PHONE MEETSINTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOREXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your mobile phone is a radio transmitterand receiver. It is designed andmanufactured not to exceed the limitsfor exposure to radio frequency (RF)recommended by internationalguidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are partof comprehensive guidelines andestablish permitted levels of RF energyfor the general population. The guidelineswere developed by independent scientificorganisations through periodic andthorough evaluation of scientific studies.The guidelines include a substantialsafety margin designed to assure thesafety of all persons, regardless of ageand health.The exposure standard for mobile phonesemploys a unit of measurement known asthe Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. TheSAR limit stated in the internationalguidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR areconducted using standard operatingpositions with the phone transmitting atits highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although theSAR is determined at the highestcertified power level, the actual SAR ofthe phone while operating can be wellbelow the maximum value. This isbecause the phone is designed to operateat multiple power levels so as to use onlythe power required to reach the network.In general, the closer you are to a basestation, the lower the power output ofthe phone.The highest SAR value for this modelphone when tested for use at the ear is0.71 W/kg. While there may bedifferences between the SAR levels ofvarious phones and at various positions,they all meet the relevant internationalguidelines for RF exposure.This product meets RF exposureguidelines when used either in thenormal use position against the ear orwhen positioned at least 1.5 cm awayfrom the body. When a carry case, beltclip or holder is used for body-wornoperation, it should not contain metaland should position the product at least1.5 cm away from your body.* The SAR limit for mobile phones used bythe public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg)averaged over ten grams of body tissue.The guidelines incorporate a substantialmargin of safety to give additionalprotection for the public and to accountfor any variations in measurements. SARvalues may vary depending on nationalreporting requirements and the networkband. For SAR information in otherregions please look under productinformation at www.nokia.com.
