Safety Information
For your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully
before you use your phone:
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
Max. SAR measurement
EU: GSM900: 0.783 mW/g; DCS1800: 0.276 mW/g.
USA: PCS1900: 0.374 mW/g.
To avoid exceeding the FCC RF exposure limits, please do not wear
the phone in front of your chest.
SAR compliance for body-worn operations is restricted to belt-clips,
holsters or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the
assembly and must provide at least 1.5 cm separation between the device,
including its antenna, and the user's body.
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals.
European and international agencies have set standards and
recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy.
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
• Verband Deutscher Elektringenieure (VDE) DIN- 0848
• Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in
Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy
• National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11,
1988
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Report 86
Safety Information i
• Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example,
over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities,
government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the updated ANSI Standard.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used
normally.
Specific Operating Restrictions
No metallic component allowed in body-worn accessories.
Antenna Care
Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications or attachments may damage the phone and
violate FCC regulations.
Phone Operation
Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with
the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
For your phone to operate most efficiently, do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is in use. Contact with the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the phone to operate at higher power level than
otherwise needed.
Batteries
• For safety concerns, when the temperature of the phone goes over
°C(113F) or below 0°C(32F), charging will halt.
45
• Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10
45
°C(113F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your
vehicle.
°C(14F) or above
ii Safety Information
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals.
The material may complete electrical circuit and become quite hot. To
protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or
other container with metal objects. When battery is detached from the
phone, your batteries are packed with a protective battery cover; please
use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while
driving, please:
• Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your first responsibility.
• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving
conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However,
certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Safety Information iii
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference.
If you have any reason to suspect that the interference is taking place, turn
your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference you may want to consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of
your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Ve h i c l es
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Posted Facilities
Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so requires.
Aircraft
FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF
your phone before boarding an aircraft.
iv Safety Information
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when
in a “blasting area” or in area posted “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO.”
Obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks, from your battery, in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always
clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below
deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and
any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle engine.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both
installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the air bag or in
the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Federal Communications Commission
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
Safety Information v
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses
and can radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
European Union Directives Conformance Statement
This device complies with the OJ-Directive as below:
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (89/336/EEC), Low Voltage
Directive (73/23/EEC)
And R&TTE Directive (99/05/EEC).
And also complies with the standard:
3GPP TS 51.010-1
EN 301 511
EN 30360/ EN30361
ETSI EN 301 489-1/-7
