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.
GSM networks in the United States utilize 850 and 1900 MHz bands. Your phone
operates on both bands, and is enhanced with a "hearing aid mode" to activate if
needed. There is no benefit to using the hearing aid mode if you do not wear
hearing aids.
The type of hearing aid and how far the phone is from a network base station
both contribute to whether the hearing aid mode is beneficial. Hearing aid users
should experiment with use of the hearing aid mode to determine whether it
affects the operation of their hearing aids while using the mobile phone.
■ 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 not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organisation 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 1.15 W/kg.
Use of device accessories and enhancements 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
1 gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during
product certification for use at the ear is 1.00 W/kg and when properly worn on
the body is 0.59 W/kg. Information about this device model can be found at
