Nokia 5 User Guide
Certification information (SAR)
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 minimise interference on the network, the operating power of your
mobile 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.

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 hands-free 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/peh-emf/en.
