■ 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
depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a network base
station. The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device
at the ear is 0.83 W/kg.
Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values.
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.
Your mobile 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 for use at the ear is 1.25 W/kg and when properly worn
on the body is 1.10 W/kg. Information about this device model can be found
at http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid by searching the equipment authorization
system using FCC ID QMNRM-214.
■ Hearing aid compatibility (HAC)
Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules governing hearing aid
compatibility. These rules require an M3 microphone or higher value. The M-value,
shown on the device box, refers to lower radio frequency (RF) emissions. A higher
M-value generally indicates that a device model has a lower RF emissions level,
which may improve the likelihood that the device will operate with certain hearing
aids. Some hearing aids are more immune than others are to interference. Please
consult your hearing health professional to determine the M-rating of your
hearing aid and whether your hearing aid will work with this device. More
