European Union - SAR
SAR (FCC)
This Model phone meets the FCC Requirements
for exposure to radio waves.
Your Mobile Phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) energy recommended by the United of States.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and established permitted levels of RF energy for
the general public. The guidelines were developed
by independent scientific organizations through the
evaluation of scientific studies. The limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to ensure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standards for mobile phones employ
a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
recommended by FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for
SAR have been conducted using normal operating
conditions with the phone transmitting at the
highest certified power in all tested frequency
bands. 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 the station antenna,
the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, compliance with FCC must be shown. One
of the essential requirements of this directive is the
protection of the health and safety for the user and
any other person. The highest SAR value for this
model phone when tested for compliance against
the standard is 0.62 W/kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the
FCC requirement for RF exposure.
The SAR limit for mobile phones for public use is
1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
grams of body tissue. The limit incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.

Battery charging
y
Use only the approved battery and charger
supplied by the phone manufacturer.
1. Plug the connector of the travel charger into the
charger port at the bottom of the phone.
2. Plug the charger into the AC power supply socket
and the battery indicator will start to scroll.
You can use the phone, if switched on while it is
charging.
The message “charging” will be displayed after
you have connected it to the power supply.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the battery
indicator will stop scrolling.
y
While charging, make sure the charger is firmly
connected to the charger port.
! When charging the battery for the first time, charge
it for at least 12 hours.
! For optimum battery power performance, 5 hours
of battery charging is recommended.
! Do not remove the battery while charging is in
progress to avoid causing damage to your phone.
Battery specifications
Please refer to “Accessories” of “Reference
Information” or the battery label.
Notice on battery charging and discharging
y
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
y
Use only the specified charger supplied by
manufacturer for charging. Any other type may be
dangerous.
y
Note that the new battery will only reach its best
performance after being fully charged and
discharged 2 or 3 times.
y
When the charger is not in use, disconnect it from
the power supply. Do not leave the battery on
continuous charge for more than one week, as
overcharging will shorten the battery life. If a fully
charged battery is left unused, it will slowly
discharge itself over time.
y
An environment with extremely high or low
temperatures will affect the battery charging.
Optimum charging will be achieved in moderate
temperatures.
y
If the indicator of the desktop charger does not
light up or keeps flashing while charging, remove
your phone or battery and insert them to the
desktop charger again until it lights up and starts
charging.
Low battery indicator
When the battery is low, with only a few minutes of
communication time left, the handset will warn you
with an alert tone and the “Battery Low” message
will be displayed.
Use of battery
y
Never use a damaged or non-recommended
charger or battery.
y
Keep the battery at a temperature between 10℃
to 40℃ (50℉ to 104℉).
The effectiveness of your battery is particularly
affected in temperatures below 0℃ (32℉).
Battery disposal
y
Do not dispose of the battery in a fire.
This may cause a serious risk of explosion and/or
release of highly toxic chemicals.
y
Ensure that the battery is disposed of or recycled
properly.
y
The battery must not be disposed of in municipal
waste.
