RF Exposure

General Statement on RF Energy

Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,

it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with

your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level

at which your phone transmits.

Specic Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed

not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended

by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the

independent scientic organization ICNIRP and include safety mar-

gins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of

age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specic Ab-

sorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg

and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear

was 0.773 W/kg . As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they

can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in

this user guide .

13

As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting

power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically

below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the

power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power

required to communicate with the network.

Body-worn Operation

Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation (RF)

exposure:

To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must

be used with a minimum of 15 mm separation from the body.

Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF expo-

sure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.

Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF elds,

the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following ad-

vice:

Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not

indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile

phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their

own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls,

or using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile phones away from the

head and body.

Further information on this subject can be obtained online from

the WHO fact sheet N°193 at http://www.who.int/mediacentre/fact-

sheets/fs193/en/

14

Regulatory Information

Please nd the Declaration of RoHS Compliance, and EC Declara-

tion of Conformity in Appendix.

Distraction

Driving

Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce

the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a

hands free kit) can cause distraction and lead to an accident. You

must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the use of

wireless devices while driving.

Operating Machinery

Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to

reduce the risk of an accident.

Product Handling

General Statement on Handling and Use

You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any

consequences of its use.

You must always switch off your phone wherever the use of a

phone is prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety mea-

sures designed to protect users and their environment.

• Always treat your phone and its accessories with care and keep

it in a clean and dust-free place.

15

• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to open ames or

lit tobacco products.

• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to liquid, moisture

or high humidity.

• Do not drop, throw or try to bend your phone or its accessories.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or aerosols to

clean the device or its accessories.

• Do not paint your phone or its accessories.

• Do not attempt to disassemble your phone or its accessories,

only authorized personnel should do so.

• Do not expose your phone or its accessories to extreme

temperatures, minimum - [5] and maximum + [50] degrees

Celsius.

• Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic

products.

• Do not carry your phone in your back pocket as it could break

when you sit down.

Small Children

Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of

small children or allow them to play with it.

They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage

the phone.

Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause

an injury or may become detached and create a choking hazard.

16

Demagnetization

To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not allow electronic devices

or magnetic media close to your phone for a long time.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Do not touch the SIM card’s metal connectors.

Antenna

GPS antenna

Antenna

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Normal Use Position

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone to your

ear, with the bottom towards your mouth.

Air Bags

Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag

deployment area.

Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.

17

Seizures/Blackouts

The phone can produce a bright or ashing light.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

To minimize the risk of RSI when texting or playing games with your

phone:

• Do not grip the phone too tightly.

• Press the buttons lightly.

• Use the special features which are designed to minimize the

times of pressing buttons, such as Message Templates and

Predictive Text.

• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals,

which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you

must never rely solely on any wireless phone for emergency com-

munications.

Loud Noise

This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may dam-

age your hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones,

Bluetooth stereo headsets or other audio devices.

Phone Heating

Your phone may become warm during charging and during normal

use.

18

Electrical Safety

Accessories

Use only approved accessories.

Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.

Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins or key

rings, to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.

Connection to a Car

vehicle electrical system.

Faulty and Damaged Products

Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessory.

Only qualied personnel should service or repair the phone or its

accessory.

If your phone or its accessory has been submerged in water, punc-

tured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you have

taken it to be checked at an authorized service center.

Interference

General Statement on Interference

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to per-

sonal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

19

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation

of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker

to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this,

use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not

carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experi-

ence interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is

nearby.

The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device

and the distance from the interference source, increasing the sepa-

ration between them may reduce the interference. You may also

consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to deter-

mine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of

your medical device.

Hospitals

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospi-

tals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to

prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

20

Aircraft

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do

so by airport or airline staff.

Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board

the aircraft, if your device offers a ‘ight mode’ this must be enabled

prior to boarding an aircraft.

Interference in Cars

Please note that because of possible interference to electronic

equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile

phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external an-

tenna is included in the installation.

Explosive Environments

Petrol Stations and Explosive Atmospheres

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted

signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio

equipment.

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas,

below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities,

areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,

dust, or metal powders.

Blasting Caps and Areas

Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting

area or in areas posted power off “two-way radios” or “electronic

devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
