Certification information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE 
TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is 
designed and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure 
to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines 
(ICNIRP). 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 guidelines include a 
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all 
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of 
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The 
SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg)*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard 
operating positions with the device 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 of the device while operating can be well below the 
maximum value. This is because the device 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, 
the lower the power output of the device.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the 
ear is 0.69 W/kg. SAR values may vary depending on national 
reporting and testing requirements and the network band. Use of 
device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR 
values. Additional SAR information may be provided under 
product information at www.nokia-asia.com. 
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is Testing 
measurement or terms. The guidelines incorporate a substantial 
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and 
to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may 
vary depending on national reporting requirements and the 
network band. For SAR information in other regions please look
