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 organisation

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 0.78 W/kg.

Use of device accessories 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.
