death. Switch off the device at refuelling points such as near gas pumps at service
stations. Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage,
and distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in
progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain,
dust, or metal powders. You should check with the manufacturers of vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) to determine if this device can
be safely used in their vicinity.
■ Certification information (SAR)
This device model meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your 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 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.
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.
