IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
organisations 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 phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international
guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions 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 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 base station, the lower the power output of the phone.
The highest SAR value for the phone of Nokia 9210i Communicator when tested
for use at the ear is 0.34 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the relevant
international guidelines for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over ten 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
