■ Certification information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL 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) 
recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP). 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 
organizations 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 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 are conducted using 
standard operating 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, the lower the power output of the 
device.
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.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 
10 grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety 
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.77 W/kg.
