CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)

THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF)
energy adopted by the governments of the USA through the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and Canada through Industry Canada (IC).
These limits 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 guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit adopted by the
USA and Canada is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.
The limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
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 well 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 reported to the FCC and IC for the Nokia 3220 phone when
tested for use at the ear is 0.57 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is
0.83 W/kg. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC and IC for the Nokia 3220b
phone model when tested for use at the ear is 1.01 W/kg, and when properly worn
on the body is 1.04 W/kg. SAR information on file with the FCC can be found
under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching
on FCC ID PPIRH-37 for the Nokia 3220 phone and on FCC ID PPIRH-49 for the
Nokia 3220b phone. SAR values reported in other countries may vary depending
on differences in reporting and testing requirements and the network band.
