When making an emergency call, remember to give all the ne- cessary information as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone may be the only means of communication at the scene of an accident - do not cut off the call until given permission to do so.
Certification Information (SAR)
THIS MODEL 6160 PHONE MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIRE- MENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is de- signed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by Industry Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish per- mitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific 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 phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the Industry Canada is 1.6 W/kg* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the phone 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 phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone 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, the lower the power output of the phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compli- ance with the Canadian Standard must be shown. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.46 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.
*The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of body tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any varia- tions in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other regions please look under product informa- tion at www.nokia.com
