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 0.73 W/kg (RM-590) / 0.39
W/kg (RM-591).
Use of device accessories 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 0.61 W/kg (RM-591) and
when properly worn on the body is 0.46 W/kg
(RM-591).
