Certification Information (Sar) - Nokia 6800 User Manual

• CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by Industry
Canada. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards
that were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines 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 set by the Industry Canada
is 1.6 W/kg* Tests for SAR are 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, the
actual SAR of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This
is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
base station, the lower the power output of the phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the
Canadian Standard must be shown. The highest SAR value for this model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 1.20 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in
this user guide is 1.02 W/Kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and Industry Canada requirements).
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of body tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety 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
