SAR
This device is SAR accredited adheres to international quality benchmarks and safety measures
concerning the harmful impact of radiations. It complies with applicable safety requirements for
exposure to radio waves. The radio waves exposure guidelines employ a unit of measurement
called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). SAR is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed
by the body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF). SAR is usually averaged either over the
whole body, or over a small sample volume (typically 1g or 10g of tissue). The recommended
SAR limit for a mobile handset/similar device is 1.6 W/Kg averaged over a volume containing a
mass 1g of human tissue.
SAR Value
• Your Slide is designed not to exceed the limits of emission of radio waves recommended by
international guidelines.
• SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) is the measurement of body-absorbed RF quantity when the
slide is in use. SAR value is ascertained according to the highest RF level generated during
laboratory tests.
• The SAR value of the slide may depend on factors such as proximity to the network tower, use
of accessories.
SAR Recommendations
• Use a wireless hands free system (headphone, headset) with lower Bluetooth emitter.
• Make sure the device has a low SAR.
• Please keep your calls short and use SMS whenever more convenient. This advice applies
especially to children and pregnant women.
• Prefer to use your Slide when the signal quality is good.
SAR Value
Tested SAR Value of iBall Slide 3G Q27 is as follows
(2G) GSM 900MHz : 1.117W/Kg (1g),
(2G) GSM 1800MHz : 0.987 W/Kg (1g)
(3G) WCDMA 2100MHz : 0.841 W/Kg (1g)
Maximum Permitted SAR Value 1.6 W/Kg (1g)

data.
Turn off data access over mobile network
23
You can conserve data usage by turning off access to data while you‘re on your mobile network.

future reference when you're not actually using the app.
To reduce your overall data usage, you can restrict background data usage for individual apps.
However, this may also affect the app's performance or cause it to malfunction. Check whether
data usage can be restricted from the app's own settings before restricting it here. You can
usually access data usage through an app‘s Settings menu.

1. Open your device's Settings app .
2. Touch Data usage.
3. Make sure you're viewing the network for which you want to view or restrict app data usage. If
