their vicinity.
CERTIFICATION INFORMATION
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 (radio frequency electromagnetic fields), recommended by
international guidelines from the independent scientific organization ICNIRP. These guidelines
incorporate substantial safety margins that are intended to assure the protection of all
persons regardless of age and health. The exposure guidelines are based on the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR), which is an expression of the amount of radio frequency (RF) power
deposited in the head or body when the device is transmitting. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue.
SAR tests are carried out with the device in standard operating positions, transmitting at its
highest certified power level, in all its frequency bands.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used against the head or when positioned
at least 5/8 inch (1.5 centimetres) away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or other
form of device holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should
provide at least the above stated separation distance from the body.
To send data or messages, a good connection to the network is needed. Sending may be
delayed until such a connection is available. Follow the separation distance instructions until
the sending is finished.
During general use, the SAR values are usually well below the values stated above. This is
because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network,
the operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased when full power is not
needed for the call. The lower the power output, the lower the SAR value.
Device models may have different versions and more than one value. Component and design
changes may occur over time and some changes could affect SAR values.
For more info, go to www.sar-tick.com. Note that mobile devices may be transmitting even if
you are not making a voice call.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions when using mobile devices. If you are
interested in reducing your exposure, they recommend you limit your usage or use a handsfree kit to keep the device away from your head and body. For more information and
explanations and discussions on RF exposure, go to the WHO website at www.who.int/health-
topics/electromagnetic-fields#tab=tab_1.
Please refer to www.nokia.com/phones/sar for the maximum SAR value of the device.

Use the Low blue light mode
Blue light is a color in the visible light spectrum that can be seen by the human eye. Of all the
colors that the human eye perceives (violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red), blue has
the shortest wavelength and thus produces a higher amount of energy. Since blue light passes
through your eye’s cornea and lens before reaching the retina, it may cause itchy and red eyes,
headaches, blurred vision, and poor sleep, for example. To limit and reduce blue light, the
display industry has developed solutions such as the Low blue light mode. To switch on the
Low blue light mode on your tablet, tap Settings > Display > Night Light > Turn on . If you
need to look at your tablet’s screen for a long time, take frequent breaks and relax your eyes
by looking at distant objects.
