■ 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.
The highest SAR value for this device 
when tested for use at the ear is 
1.02 W/kg.
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-asia.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 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 
regions, please look under product 
information at www.nokia.com.
