SAFETY INFORMATION

1. EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) ENERGY

Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. When you communicat e with your
phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your
phone transmits.
Your phone is designed to comply with local regulatory requ irements in your
country concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.

2. OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS

To assure optimal phone performance and make sure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always adhere

to the following procedures.

3. EXTERNAL ANTENNA CARE

Use only the supplied Avvio approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the phone.
Do NOT hold the antenna when the phone is IN USE. Holding the antenna
affects call quality and may cause the phone to operate at a higher power level
than needed. In addition, use of unauthorized antennas may result in non­compliance with the local regulatory requirements in your country.

4. PHONE OPERATION

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone as you would use a
wireless telephone.
To maintain compliance with RF energy exposure guidelines , ensure the phone
antenna is at least 10 inches (25 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.

batteries and antennas, may cause your phone to exceed RF energy exposure
guidelines.
