Reference information
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions specified by the FCC 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 wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by
the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the
body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for
this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.94 W/Kg and when
worn on the body, as described in this users guide, is 0.57 W/Kg with the
carrying case. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there
may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone
with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF
emission guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file
with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID LJPNSB-6NY.
For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, use only Nokia approved accessories. When carrying the phone
while it is on, place the phone in the specific Nokia carrying cases that
have been tested for compliance.
Use of non-Nokia-approved accessories may violate FCC RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
________________________________________________
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used
by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.
The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
