VEHICLES
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in vehicles. For more info, check with the manufacturer of
your vehicle or its equipment. Only authorized personnel should install the
device in a vehicle. Faulty installation may be dangerous and invalidate your
warranty. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle
is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or
accessories. Do not place your device or accessories in the air bag deployment
area.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
Switch your device off in potentially explosive environments, such as near
gasoline pumps. Sparks may cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or
death. Note restrictions in areas with fuel; chemical plants; or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive
environment may not be clearly marked. These usually are areas where you are
advised to switch your engine off, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or
storage facilities, and where the air contains chemicals or particles. Check
with the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane) if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
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.
Please refer to www.nokia.com/phones/sar for the maximum SAR value of the
device.
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.

Nokia G50 User Guide
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/healthtopics
/electromagnetic-fields#tab=tab_1.
