Please read the following guidelines regarding the use of your
phone. Not following them may be dangerous or illegal.
Certification Information (SAR)
Your phone is designed not to exceed the limits of emission
of radio waves recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines include safety margins designed to assure
the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
SAR (specific absorption rate) is the unit of body-absorbed
RF quantity when the phone is in use. SAR value is
ascertained according to the highest RF level generated
during laboratory tests.
The true SAR level during phone usage will be far lower
than this level.
The SAR value of the phone may change depending on
factors such as how close you are to a network tower, use of
accessories and other enhancements.
The highest SAR value of the device is 0.701 W/kg (head)
and 0.580 W/kg (body) averaged over 1 gm of human
tissue.
The SAR value may differ depending on national reporting,
testing requirements and the network band.

SAR Recommendations
Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset)
with a low power Bluetooth emitter.
Please keep your calls short and use SMS whenever more
convenient. This advice applies especially to children,
adolescents and pregnant women.
Prefer to use your cell phone when the signal quality is
good.
People having active medical implants should preferably
keep the cell phone at least 15 cm away from the implant.
Maintain a preferable distance of 15 mm from the device.
Safe Driving
Do not use the phone while driving. When you have to use
the phone, please use the personal hands-free kit.
Please do not put the phone onto any passenger seat or any
place from which it may fall down in case of vehicular
collision or emergency braking.
During Flight
Flight is influenced by interference caused by the phone. It
is illegal to use a phone on the airplane. Please turn off your
phone or switch to flight mode during a flight.
In Hospitals
Your Phone’s radio waves may interfere with the
functioning medical devices. Consult a physician or the

manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether
they are adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency.
