Safety

Never attempt to disassemble your phone. You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any consequences of its use. As a general rule, always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.

Do not use your phone in damp areas (bathroom, swimming pool…). Protect it

from liquids and other moisture. Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures lower than - 10°C and higher than + 55°C. The physicochemical processes created by chargers impose temperature limits when charging the battery. Your phone automatically protects the batteries in extreme temperatures. Do not leave your phone within the reach of small children (certain removable parts may be accidentally ingested).

Electrical safety: Only use the chargers listed in the manufacturer’s catalogue.

Using any other charger may be dangerous; it would also invalidate your warranty. Line voltage must be exactly the one indicated on the charger’s serial plate. Aircraft safety: When traveling by plane, you will need to switch your phone off when so instructed by the cabin crew or the warning signs. Using a mobile phone may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may disrupt the phone network. Its use is illegal and you could be prosecuted or banned fro m using cellular networks in the future if you do not abide by these regulations. Explosive materials: Please comply with warning signs at petrol station asking

you to switch your phone off. You will need to comply with radio equipment

usage restrictions in places such as chemical plants, fuel depots and at any

location where blasting operations are under way.

Electronic e quipment: To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not let

electronic devices close to your phone for a long time.

Electronic medical e quipment: Your phone is a radio transmitter which may

interfere with electronic medical equipment or implants, such as hearing aids,

pacemakers, insulin pumps, etc. It is recommended that a minimum separation

of 15 cm be maintained between the phone and an implant. Your doctor or the

manufacturers of such equipment will be able to give you any advice you may

need in this area.

Hospitals: Always make sure that your phone is switched off in hospitals when

so instructed by warning signs or by medical staff.

Road sa fety: Do not use your phone when driving. In order to give your full

attention to driving, stop and park safely before making a call. You must comply

with any current legislation.

Distance of operation: This phone model has been tested and meets

radiofrequency exposure guidelines when used as follows:

• Against the ear: Place or receive a phone call and hold the phone as you would

a wire line telephone.

• Body worn: When transmitting, place the phone in a carry accessory that

contains no metal and positions the phone a minimum of 2.5 cm form your body.

Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with radiofrequency

exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body worn accessory and are not

holding the phone at the ear, position the phone a minimum of 2.5 cm from your

body,

• Data operation: When using a data feature, position the phone a minimum of

2.5 cm from your body for the whole duration of the data transmission.

FCC Regulations:

This mobile phone complies with part 15 of th e 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. This mobile phone 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.

FCC Note:

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Information (SAR) This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States.

During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no separation, and near the body with the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone 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.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant secti on of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: WVB245M

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is

0.73 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.19 W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirements.

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this device and your body. RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
