•TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given studies, which 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 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.

ordinary bins if your country or your region has suitable recycling and
collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points
for them to be recycled.
• BATTERY:
Before removing the battery from your phone, please make sure that
the phone is switched off. Observe the following precautions for
battery use:
- Do not attempt to open the battery (due to the risk of toxic fumes and
burns).
- Do not puncture, disassemble or cause a short-circuit in a battery,
- Do not burn or dispose of a used battery in household rubbish or
store it at temperatures above 60 °C. Batteries must be disposed of in
accordance with locally applicable environmental regulations. Only
use the battery for the purpose for which it was designed. Never use
damaged batteries or those not recommended by T&A Mobile Phones
Limited and/or its affiliates.
• CHARGERS:
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of:
13
Page 14
0 °C to 40 °C. The chargers designed f or your mobile phone meet with
the standard for safety of information technology equipment and
office equipment use. They should be used for this purpose only.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal
operation, you should avoid touc hing it or damaging it.
• RADIOWAVES:
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 MOBILE PHONE COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL
AND EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS REGARDING EXPOSURE
TO RADIO WAVES. Your mobile phone is a radio
transmitter/receiver. It was designed and manufactured to comply with
the radiofrequency (RF) exposure thresholds recommended by
international requirements (ICNIRP) 1and by the Council of the
1
The ICNIRP requirements are applicable in
the following regions: Central America (except
Mexico), South America, North and South Africa, Pacific
14
Page 15
European Union (Recommendatio n 1999/519/EC)2.
These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorized
radiofrequency levels for the public. These limits were established by
independent groups of experts on the basis of regular and detailed
scientific assessments. They include a significant safety margin
intended to ensure the safety of all, regardless of age or state of health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones is determined by a
measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate or “SAR”.
The SAR limit is set by international requirements or by the Council
of the European Union at 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10
grams of body tissue. The tests used to determine SAR levels were
carried out on the basis of standard usage modes with the phones
transmitting at their maximum power level over the entire range of
frequency bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the
Asia (except Taiwan and Korea), Australia.
2
The European recommendation (1999/519/EC) is
applicable in the following regions: Europe, Israel.
15
Page 16
actual SAR level for the mobile phone during use is generally much
lower than the maximum values. In fact, since mobile phones are
designed to operate at many different power levels, they only use the
minimum level of power required to provide a connection to the
network. In theory, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the
lower the power level required by the mobile phone.
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear
and compliance against the standard is 1.0 W/kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels on various phones and at various
positions, they all meet the relevant International guidelines and EU
requirements for RF (radio-waves) exposure.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers that
present scientific information does not indicate the need for
any special precautions for 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 (fact sheet n°
193). Additional information about electromagnetic fields
and public health are available
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal
16
Page 17
operation, you should avoid touc hing it or damaging it.
• RUIM version or NON-RUIM version:
RUIM version (with UIM card) and NON-RUIM (without UIM card)
version are available for CDMA products. It is operator dependent.
Please consult your operator for detailed information.
