CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
NOKIA PHONE MODELS MEET THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. 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 organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC 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 level 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 wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the
FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear
and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR values as
reported to the FCC are as follows:
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories
and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for these phone models with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information
on these model phones is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID L JPNKC-1X for the Nokia
1220 and Nokia 1221 phones or L JPNKW-1X for the Nokia 1260 phone.
