IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

■Certification information (S AR)

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for

exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part

of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines

were developed by independent scientific organisa tions through periodic and th orough evaluation of scientific

studies. The limits 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 recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been

conducted using standard operating positions wit h the phone transmitting at its hi ghest certified power level in a ll

tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is det ermined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level

of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to

operat e at mult iple pow er l eve ls so as t o use onl y the pow er re qui red to re ach the netw ork. In g ene ral, the clos er

you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be

shown. This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user

and any other person. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.59 W/kg. While

there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU

requirements for RF exposure.

This product meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear or when

positioned at least 1.5 cm away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn

operation, it should not contain metal and sh ould position the product at le ast 1.5 cm away from your body.

* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue.

The limit incorporates 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 requirements and the

network band. For SAR information in other region s please look under product inf ormation at www.nokia.com.
