■Certification
information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for
exposure to radio waves.
Your 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
organisation 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
9219983_en1.fm Page 16 Tuesday, April 13, 2010 5:05 PM
![](/img.php?id=1275554&img=bg11.png)
ENGLISH
depending on a number of factors such
as how close you are to a network base
station.
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.
This device model has been tested and
meets RF exposure guidelines when
positioned at least 0.5 centimetres (1/5
inches) away from the body when
plugged directly into a USB port on the
host device or used at the end of the
Nokia Connectivity Cable CA-175D that
may be supplied in the sales package.
Your 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 when positioned 0.5
cm (1/5 inches) away from the body is
1.02 W/kg.
FCC/Industry Canada notice
Your device may cause TV or radio
interference (for example, when using a
