radio waves and your
phone
This phone meets the European Union
Requirements for exposure to Radio
Waves.
Your mobile phone has a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy
recommended by The Council of the
European Union. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and established
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 limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit recommended by the Council of
the European Union is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for
SAR have been conducted using standard
operating positions 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, 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 level so as to use only
the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a base
station antenna, the lower the power
output.
Before a phone model is available for sale
to the public, compliance with the
European R&TTE directive must be shown.
This directive includes as one essential
requirement the protection of the health
and safety for the user and any other
person. The highest SAR value for the
Nokia 6100 when tested for compliance
against the standard was 0.60 W/kg.
13.1
While there may be differences between
the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the EU
requirements for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by
the public is 2.0 watts / kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over ten grams of tissue. The
limit incorporates a substantial safety
margin 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
