IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of
RF energy for the general population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The limits 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 recommended by The
Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been 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 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 base station antenna, the
lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the
European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential
requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any other
person. The highest SAR value for the phone of Nokia 9210i Communicator when
tested for compliance against the standard was 0.34 W/kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the EU requirements 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 tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations
