Never use the phone without recommended accessories while driving.
The telephone emits electromagnetic field that might negatively interfere with other electronic devices including medical equipment. A distance recommended by the medical equipment manufacturers between the phone and the implanted medical device such as a heart pacemaker should be observed. Users with implanted devices should get familiar with and follow guidelines by the manufacturers of such implanted medical devices. Users with a heart pacemaker should not carry the phone in the breast pocket and should keep the phone next to the ear opposite to the medical device in order to minimize the risk of interference; in case of suspecting such interference, the phone should be switched off immediately.
A device and its accessories might contain small parts. Keep your phone and all parts out of reach of children.

Users with implanted devices should get familiar with and follow guidelines by the manufacturers of such implanted medical devices. Users with a heart pacemaker should not carry the phone in the breast pocket and should keep the phone next to the ear opposite to the medical device in order to minimize the risk of interference; in case
Page 60
60
of suspecting such interference, the phone should be switched off immediately.
Never use the phone in hospitals, airplanes, refueling points or at proximity to flammable materials.
Never repair nor modify the phone on your own; any repairs should be made by authorized service only.

21. Terms of Warranty
The phone is covered under the warranty; proof of purchase is necessary to use such warranty.
There is a fee for repair of the phone damaged due to misuse, electrostatic discharge or lightning strike. Above disclosures are for information purposes only.
22. Battery Information
There is a battery in the phone. The battery can be recharged using a charger that is included in the set.
The battery life depends on conditions in which the phone is used. Your distance from a relay transmitter, number and the length of phone calls significantly reduce the battery life. While on the go, the phone switches between relay transmitters and such switching also significantly affects the battery life. After multiple charges and discharges, it is natural for the battery to eventually lose its ability to hold charge. Get a new battery if you notice a significant drop in the battery performance.
Use only batteries recommended by the Manufacturer. Never leave the charger connected longer than 2-3 days.
Page 62
62
Never keep the phone in excessively hot places. High temperatures might negatively impact both the battery and the phone.
Never use a battery that is clearly damaged. Doing so might cause a short circuit, and might damage the phone. Check battery installation for proper polarization.
Leaving the battery in excessively hot or cold places will reduce the battery life. The recommended storage
temperature range is between 15°C and 25°C. Installing
a cold battery into the phone might cause the phone to malfunction and might damage the phone.
The set contains a Li-ion battery. Old batteries pose environmental risks. They should be disposed of at a special place in a special container in compliance with current regulations. Never throw old batteries or chargers to municipal solid waste, they should be collected for disposal.
NEVER PUT BATTERIES AND CHARGERS
INTO FIRE!

23. SAR Information
This telephone meets all international standards pertaining to the impact of radio waves. The product both receives and emits radio waves. It is designed not to exceed any limits pertaining to impact of radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an independent scientific organization with a safety margin to protect all people regardless their age and health condition. Such guidelines use a unit of measurement called Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) – actual absorption.
As recommended by ICNIRP, the border value of SAR for portable equipment is 2,0 watts per kilogram (W/kg). SAR value is determined at the maximum transmit power; the actual SAR value while the product is working is usually lower than the indicated level. Such discrepancies result from automatic changes in device power necessary to ensure that the device operates at a minimum power level required to be connected with network.
Although SAR values might vary for different models of phones or even for different positions of the same model, they are all compliant with regulations pertaining to safe level of radiation.
Page 64
64
According to WHO current research, there is no need to apply any special restrictions in using portable devices. According to WHO, in order to reduce radiation, a length of conversation should be reduced, or headphones or speakerphone should be used, or the phone should not be held in proximity to head or body.
The highest SAR value in tests
SAR – next to head
0.270 W/kg (GSM900)
1.285 W/kg (GSM1800)
SAR – next to body
1.475 W/kg (GSM900)
1.687 W/kg (GSM1800)
SAR values might also vary due to various reporting and testing requirements in different countries as well as to different frequencies in a certain network
Page 65
65
24. Protect Your Environment
Important: The phone is marked in
compliance with the European Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive of 2012/19/UE (WEEE) and the Polish Act on
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, and with the symbol of waste electricals. Such a symbol tells us that the device, after use, must not be disposed of in the normal household waste stream. Important: Never throw the phone nor accessories to municipal solid waste!!! The product should be utilized in authorized places only. As the product contains hazardous components, improper storage and use of such equipment might lead to serious consequences harmful for both people and natural environment. To avoid such consequences, proper handling of waste electrical and electronic equipment is essential.
