■ Hearing aid compatibility (HAC)
Warning: For hearing aid compatibility, you must turn off the
Bluetooth connectivity.
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 information on
accessibility can be found at www.nokiaaccessibility.com.
■ 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 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 exposure
guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the IEEE guidelines is
1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram 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 net-
work base station. The highest SAR value under the FCC guidelines for use of the
device at the ear is 1.25 W/kg and when worn properly on the body is 0.88 W/kg.
Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR
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 phone model is not authorized for use in the European Union and the
EFTA countries.
