• CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
THESE 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 following values are
the highest SAR values for these phone models as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear and worn on the body, as described in this
user guide:
Phone model FCC ID#
Ear SAR value Body worn SAR value
Nokia 3600
QFXNHM-10
0.70 W/kg
1.27 W/kg
Nokia 3650
QFXNHL-8
0.55 W/kg
0.83 W/kg

Reference information
(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 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 QFXNHM-10
for the Nokia 3600 model and FCC ID QFXNHL-8 for the Nokia 3650 model.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC
RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal
and that positions the handset a minimum of 5/8 inch (1.5 cm) from the
body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not
holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 5/8 inch
(1.5 cm) from your body when the phone is switched on.
*In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used
by the public is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of
tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band. For SAR information in other regions
please look under product information at www.nokia.com/us.

• USE ACCESSORIES SAFELY
A few practical rules for accessory operation:
•
Keep all accessories out of the reach of small children.
•
When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull
the plug, not the cord.
•
Check regularly that any vehicle-installed accessories are mounted
and are operating properly.
•
Installation of any complex car accessories must be made by qualified
personnel only.
•
Use only batteries, chargers, and accessories that have been approved
by the phone manufacturer. The use of any other types could invalidate
any approval or warranty applying to the phone and could be dangerous.
