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:
Recent studies show that using a cellphone while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk,even when
the hands-free kit is used (headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using their cellphone
when the vehicle is not parked.
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones and their accessories in the areas
where you drive.The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.Do not
use your phone's stereo or music feature with a headphone.
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 car’s electronic devices
are shielded from cellphone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the cellphone from time to time to optimize 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, cellphones 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, gas station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive

playing video games.These seizures or blackouts may occur even if a person never had a previous
seizure or blackout. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history
of such occurrences, please consult your doctor before playing video games on your phone or
enabling a flashing-lights feature on your phone. Parents should monitor their children’s use of
video games or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the phones. All persons should
discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or
muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation. To limit the
likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:
- Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.
- Take a minimum of a 15 minute break hourly.
- Play in a well lit room.
- Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
- If your hands, wrists,or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest for several hours
before playing again.
- If you continue to have sore hands,wrists, or arms during or after playing, stop the game and see
a doctor.
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders,neck, or other parts of your body. Follow the instructions to avoid problems such
as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders.

• RADIO WAVES:
THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Your cellphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.These guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal
Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the cellphone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
cellphone while operating can be well below the maximum value.This is because the cellphone is
designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output of the cellphone Before a cellphone model is available for sale to the public,compliance with
national regulations and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested for use at the ear is 0.75 W/Kg and
for use close to the body is 1.21 W/Kg
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation,
the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic
accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body.Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.

B7C_UM_USA_30-08-07 4/09/07 9:52 Page 8
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones.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 cellphones away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193).
Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the
following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your cellphone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid
touching it or degrading it.
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
