263IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONorganisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. Theguidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of allpersons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement knownas the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the internationalguidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operatingpositions with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in alltested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certifiedpower level, the actual SAR of the phone while operating can be well below themaximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiplepower levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general,the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power output of the phone.The highest SAR value for the phone of Nokia 9210i Communicator when testedfor use at the ear is 0.34 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SARlevels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the relevantinternational guidelines for RF exposure.* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg)averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantialmargin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reportingrequirements and the network band.
