•  Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as 

microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

•  Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do 

not contain any metal.

•  Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your 

local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS

This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is 
forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.

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

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event 
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the 
customer service line to discuss alternatives.

NONIONIZING RADIATION

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal­use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. 
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for 
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is 
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the 
antenna during operation of the equipment.

Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas 
may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and 
SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance 
with local regulatory requirements in your country.

To assure optimal phone 
performance and ensure human 
exposure to RF energy is within the 
guidelines set forth in the relevant

Antenna 
location

standards, always use your device 
only in its normal-use position. 
Contact with the antenna area 
may impair call quality and cause 
your device to operate at a higher 
power level than needed. Avoiding 
contact with the antenna area 
when the phone is IN USE optimizes 
the antenna performance and the 
battery life.
