explosive atmosphere are often, but not 
always, clearly marked. They include 
areas where you would be advised to turn 
off your vehicle engine, below deck on 
boats, chemical transfer or storage 
facilities and where the air contains 
chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, 
or metal powders. You should check with 
the manufacturers of vehicles using 
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane 
or butane) to determine if this device can 
be safely used in their vicinity.
■Certification 
information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for 
exposure to radio waves.
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 

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 
0.81 W/kg.
FCC/Industry Canada notice
Your device may cause TV or radio 
interference (for example, when using a 
telephone in close proximity to receiving 
equipment). The FCC or Industry Canada can 
require you to stop using your telephone if 
such interference cannot be eliminated. If

service facility. This device complies with 
part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject 
to the following two conditions: (1) This 
device may not cause harmful interference, 
and (2) this device must accept any 
interference received, including interference 
that may cause undesired operation. Any 
changes or modifications not expressly 

ENGLISH
approved by Nokia could void the user's 
authority to operate this equipment.
