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 0.91 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.
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the
requirements for exposure to radio waves established
by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and
Industry Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of
1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The
highest SAR value reported under this standard during
product certification for use at the ear is 1.15 W/kg and
when properly worn on the body is 0.90 W/kg
