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 device or
enabling a flashing-lights feature on your device.
Parents should monitor their children’s use of video games or
other features that incorporate flashing lights on the device. 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 room in which all lights are on.
- 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.

in your jurisdiction or other jurisdiction(s) where you will use
your device regarding taking photographs and recording sounds
with your device. Pursuant to such laws and regulations, it may be
strictly forbidden to take photographs and/or to record the voices
of other people or any of their personal attributes, and duplicate
or distribute them, as this may be considered to be an invasion
of privacy. It is the user’s sole responsibility to ensure that prior
authorization be obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or
confidential conversations or take a photograph of another person;
the manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your device (including the
operator) disclaim any liability which may result from the improper

means that these products must be taken to collection
points at the end of their life:
7
- Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these items
of equipment.
- Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of
in the environment, so that their components can be reused.
In European Union countries:
These collection points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this sign must be brought to these collection
points.
In non-European Union jurisdictions:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into
ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling
and collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection
points for them to be recycled.
• CHARGERS
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range
of: 0°C to 40°C.
The chargers designed for your device meet with the standard for
safety of information technology equipment and office equipment
use. They are also compliant to the eco design 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.
The charger shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.
• RADIO WAVES
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
8
Your device is a r adio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio wave s (radio
frequency electromagnetic fields) recommended by international
guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an independent
scientific organisation (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, reg ardless of
age and he alth. The r adio 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 oper ating positions
with the device transmitting at its highe st 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
P360X (Body-worn) 0.904W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well
below the values st ated above. This is because, for purposes of
system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network,
the operating power of your device is automatically decreased
when full power is not needed. 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 bodyworn 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
produc t is used is free of any metal and that it positions the device
the indicated distance away from the body.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the US
Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are
concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a
recorded:
9
hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the
head or body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent on
the device.
