Safety and use �����������������������������������
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your phone.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a
consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained
herein.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given that studies show that using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle
constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset���),
drivers are requested to refrain from using their mobile when the vehicle is
not parked�
When driving, do not use your phone and headphone to listen to music or to
the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your phone emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere
with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To
ensure that there is no problem:
- do not place your phone on top of the dashboard or within an airbag
deployment area,
- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the
dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimise its
performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated
areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, mobile
telephones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment
using radio frequency.
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey
all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or chemical plant,
or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any
medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump, etc. In
particular when using the phone, you should hold it against the ear on the
opposite side to the device, if any.
4
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your phone to your

• CHARGERS
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0°C to
40°C.
The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the standard for safety
of information technology equipment and office equipment use. They are also
compliant to the ecodesign directive 2009/125/EC. Due to different applicable
electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdiction may not
work in another jurisdiction. They should be used for this purpose only.
• RADIO WAVES:
Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European
Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all mobile phone models before
they can be put on the market. The protection of the health and safety for the
user and any other person is an essential requirement of these standards or this
directive.
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL 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. The guidelines were developed
by an independent scientific organisations (ICNIRP) and include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
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 highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
6055K:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded�
Head SAR
Body-worn SAR
LTE Band 8+Wi-Fi0.840 W/kg
LTE Band 1+Wi-Fi0.899 W/kg

LTE Band 1+Wi-Fi0.875 W/kg
6070K:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was recorded�
Head SAR
Body-worn SAR
During use, the actual SAR values for this device 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 of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 10 mm.
To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should
be positioned at least this distance away from the body.
If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that whatever product is used
is free of any metal and that it positions the phone the indicated distance away
from the body.
Organisations such as the World Health organisations and the US Food and Drug
Administration have stated that if people are concerned and want to reduce their
exposure they could use a hands-free device to keep the phone away from the
head and body during phone calls, or reduce the amount of time spent on the
phone.
