Section 4A: Safety Guidelines 193
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) for Wireless Phones
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative amount of RF energy absorbed by
the user of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an extensive testing, measuring and
calculation process. It does not represent how much RF the phone emits. All phone
models are tested at their highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially less than the level reported to the
FCC. This is because of a variety of factors including its proximity to a base station
antenna, phone design and other factors. What is important to remember is that
each phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in SARs do not represent a
variation in safety.
All phones must meet the federal standard, which incorporates a substantial margin
of safety. As stated above, variations in SAR values between different model phones
do not mean variations in safety. SAR values at or below the federal standard of
1.6 W/kg are considered safe for use by the public.
The highest reported SAR values of the PM-3205 by Nokia are:
AMPS mode (Part 22):
Head: 1.28 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.70 W/kg
PCS mode (Part 24):
Head: 1.29 W/kg; Body-worn: 0.48 W/kg
For body-worn operation, position the phone at least 7/8 inch (2.2 centimeters)
away from your body.
