permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organizations through period ic and thorough evaluation of s cientific
studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs 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)*. Tests for SAR a re conducted using standard o perating positions
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station, t he lower the power
output of the device.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.77 W/kg.
SAR values may vary depending on national re porting and testing requirem ents and the
network band. Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in diffe rent SAR
values. Additional SAR information may be provid ed under product information at
www.nokia.com.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 W/kg averaged over ten grams of
body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values
may vary depending on national reporting r equirements and the network band. For SAR
information in other regions please look under pro duct information at www.nokia.com.
