Reference Information
CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not
to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone
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 level of the phone
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone 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 wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the
FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for the Nokia 6820a model phone as reported to the FCC when tested
for use at the ear is 0.66 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide,
is 1.20 W/kg. The highest SAR value for the Nokia 6820b model phone as reported to the
FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.78 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 0.87 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement. The FCC has granted an Equipment
Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID PYANHL-9 for the Nokia 6820a model and FCC ID PYARH-26 for
the Nokia 6820b model.
