If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider. When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately as possible. Your wireless phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.

CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)

THE NOKIA 2600 DEVICE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards and guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of the public, regardless of age and health and to account for any variations in measurements.

The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device can be well below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value when tested according to international testing procedures for use at the ear for device type RH-59 is 0.80 W/kg and for device type RH-60 is 0.69 W/kg. Your phone’s device type is listed on the label located under the battery.

SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. Additional SAR information may be provided under product information at www.nokia.com.

USA and Canada: The SAR limit of USA (FCC) and Canada (IC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. Device type RH-60 has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use at the ear is

1.00W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.59 W/kg. Information about this device can be found on the FCC's website at <http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid> by searching the equipment authorization system using FCC ID: QTLRH-60.
