Safety and use .......................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your 
mobile 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 phone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and 
regulations on the use of wireless mobile phones and their accessories 
in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these 
devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
When driving, do not use your mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 car’s electronic devices are shielded from mobile phone RF 
energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time to time to 
optimize its performance. 
Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use on 
aircrafts. 
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile 
devices in public areas. 
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems: Turn off your 
mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to do 
so. In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to 
do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or 
similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight. 
Switch the mobile 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 phones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, 
or equipment using radio frequency.

• RADIO WAVES:
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 organization 
(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 1.6 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:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which 
it was recorded.
Head SAR UMTS 1900 + Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 0.747 W/kg
Body-worn SAR GSM 1800 + Wi-Fi + Bluetooth 0.832 W/kg
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 1.5 cm. 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. 
Organizations such as the World Health Organization and the US 
Food and Drug Administration have stated that if people are 
concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a handsfree device to keep the phone away from the head and body during 
phone calls, or reduce the amount of time spent on the phone.
