Nokia 5170i - Radio frequency (RF) signals

Radio frequency (RF) signals

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS 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 compre-
hensive 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 value for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for
use at the ear is 1.49 W/kg, and when worn on the body, as described
in this user guide, is 1.45 W/kg. (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 this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
phone 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: GMLNSD-1FW.

For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, use only Nokia approved accessories. When carrying the
phone while it is on, place the phone in the specific Nokia belt-clip
that has been tested for compliance.
