■ Certification information (SAR)
THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to 
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international 
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific 
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the 
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known 
as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP 
guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests 
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device 
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The 
actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the maximum value 
because the device is designed to use only the power required to reach the 
network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors such as how 
close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP 
guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 0.47 W/kg. 
Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. 
SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements 
and the network band. Additional SAR information may be provided under 
product information at www.nokia.com.
