For Your Safety
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following
these guidelines may be dangerous or illegal. Further
detailed information is given in this manual.
WARNING!
• Mobile Phones must be switched off at all times in aircrafts.
• Do not hold the phone in your hand while driving.
• Do not use your phone near petrol stations, fuel depots,
chemical plants or blasting operations.
• For your safety, use ONLY specified ORIGINAL batteries
and chargers.
• Do not handle the phone with wet hands while it is being
charged. It may cause an electric shock or seriously damage
your phone.
• Keep the phone in a safe place out of small children’s reach.
It includes small parts which, if detached, may cause a
choking hazard.
CAUTION!
• Switch off the phone in any area where required by special
regulations. For example, do not use your phone in hospitals
or it may affect sensitive medical equipment.
• Emergency calls may not be available under all mobile
networks. Therefore, you should never depend solely on your
mobile phone for emergency calls.
• Only use ORIGINAL accessories to avoid damage to your
phone.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
network. In some cases, transmission of data files
or messages may be delayed until such a
connection is available. Ensure the above
separation distance instructions are followed until
the transmission is completed. The highest SAR
value for this device when tested for use at the
body is {a.bc} W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public
is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a
substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. SAR values may vary
depending on national reporting requirements and
the network band. For SAR information in other
regions please look under product information at
www.{terminal-manufacturer}.com.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the
FCC is 1.6W/kg. * Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions specified by the FCC
with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone 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.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the
public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC
that ist does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body)as required by
the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for
this model phone when tested for use at the ear is
0.467 W/kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is 0.295W/kg, (Bodyworn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). [Labeling Committee note : if
applicable, if body-worn SARs are required]. While
there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all
meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for
this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is
on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Gant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid
after searching on FCC ID BEJKP202.
