laws that may include restrictions on the use of mobile telephones or
accessories while driving. If use is legal, always keep your hands free to
operate the vehicle while driving and use a handsfree device whenever
possible. Suspend calls in heavy traffic or hazardous weather. Get to know
your mobile phone and its features and make any necessary information
inputs prior to driving. Do not inpu t data or engage in text messaging
while driving. Mobile telephones should not be used when use may be
a distraction to the driver.

12

The Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) has
published further info and tips on safe use of cellular telephones at
www.ctia.org/consumer_info/safety, which we encourage you to
review.

Potentially explosive environments

Turn your device off in potentially explosive environments, such as near
gas station pumps. Sparks may cause an explosion or fire resulting in
injury or death. Note restrictions in areas with fuel; chemical plants ; or
where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially
explosive environment may not be clearly marked. These usually are
areas where you are advised to turn your engine off, below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and where the air contains
chemicals or particles. Check with the manufacturers of vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if this device can
be safely used in their vicinity.

Certification information (SAR)

This mobile device meets international guidelines for exposure to
radio waves.

Your cellular phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency
electromagnetic fields), recommended by international guidelines from
the independent scientific organization ICNIRP. These guidelines
incorporate substantial safety margins that are intended to assure the
protection of all persons regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines are based on the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR),
which is an expression of the amount of radio frequency (RF) power
deposited in the head or body when the device is transmitting. The
ICNIRP SAR lim it for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams
of tissue.
SAR tests are carried out with the device in st andard operating positions,
transmitting at its highest certified power level, in all its frequency bands.
The maximum recorded SAR values for this device are:

When held against
the head

When operated at a
separation distance
of 5/8 inch (1.5

Maximum SAR value Frequency bands

0.47 W/kg over 10g WCDMA 900 and

centimeters) from
the body

Your mobile device is also designed to meet the United S tates Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and Indust ry Canada SAR (IC)
guidelines. FCC ratings for your device and more information on SAR can
be found at transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. Information on IC
SAR can be found at www.ic.gc.ca.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used against the head
or when positioned at least 5/8 inch (1.5 centimeters) away from the
body. When a carry case, belt clip or other form of device holder is used
for body-worn operation, it should not contain metal and should provide
at least the above stated separation distance from the body.
To send data or messages, a good connection to the network is needed.
Sending may be delayed until such a connection is available. Follow th e
separation distance instructions until the sending is finished.
During general use, the SAR values are usually well below the values
stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to
minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your
mobile is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the
call. The lower the power output, the lower the SAR value.
Device models may have different versions and more than one value.
Component and design changes may occur over time and some changes
could affect SAR values. The latest available SAR information for thi s and
other Microsoft Mobile device models can be found at
sar.microsoft.com.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions when
using mobile devices . If you are interested in reducing y our exposure,
they recommend you limit your usage or use a hands-free kit to keep
the device away from your head and body. For more information and
explanations and discussions on RF exposure, go to the WHO website at

www.who.int/peh-emf/en.

OR RELATING TO LOSS OF, DAMAGE TO, OR CORRUPTION OF,

5. Choice of law

The laws of the State or Province where you live (or if a business your
principal place of business) govern the interpretation of this warranty,

(including consumer protection, unfair competition, implied warranty,
and tort claims), regardless of conflict of law princi ples, except that the
Federal Arbitration Act governs all provisions relating to arbitration.

6. Binding arbitration a nd class action waiver if you live in
(or if a business your principal place of business is in) the
United States

This section applies to any dispute EXCEPT DISPUTES RELATING TO THE
ENFORCEMENT OR VALIDITY OF YOUR, MANUFACTURER’S, OR
EITHER YOUR OR MANUFACTURER’S LICENSOR’S INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. The term "dispute" means any dispute, action or

other controversy between you and Manufacturer concerning the
Product (including its price) or this warranty, whether in contract,
warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance or any other legal or
equitable basis. "Dispute" will be given the broa dest possible meaning
allowable under law.
1 Notice of Dispute. In the event of a dispute, you or Manufacturer must
give the other a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets
forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it,
the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested. You must

19

send any Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to Microsoft Mobile Inc., ATTN:
LCA ARBITRATION, One Mi crosoft Way, Redmond WA 98052-6399 . A

form is available at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linki d=245499.
Manufacturer will send any Notice of Dispute to you by U.S. Mail to your
address if we have it, or otherwise to your e-mail address. You and
Manufacturer will attempt to resolve any dispute through informal
negotiation within 60 days from the date the Notic e of Dispute is sent.
After 60 days, you or Manufacturer may commence arbitration.
2 Small Claims Court. You may also litigate any dispute in small claims
court in your county of residence (or if a business your principal place of
business) or King County, Washington, if the dispute meets all
requirements to be heard in the small claims court. You may litigate in
small claims court whether or not you negotiated informally first.

3 Binding Arbitration. If you and Manufacturer do not resolve any
dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, an y other
effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by
individual binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act
("FAA"). Class arbitrations are not permitted. You are giving up the
right to litigate disputes in court before a judge or jury (or participate
as a party or class member). Instead, all disputes will be resolved before

a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right
of appeal under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties m ay
enforce the arbitrator’s award.

4 Class Action Waiver. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any
dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis.
Neither you nor Manufacturer will seek to have any dispute heard as
a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other
proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a
representative capacity. No arbitration or other proceeding will be
combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties
to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.
5 Arbitration Procedure. Any arbitration will be conducted by the

American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Commercial
Arbitration Rules. If you are an individual and use the Manufacturer
Product for personal or household use, or if the value of th e dispute is
$75,000 or less whether or not you are an individual or how you use the
Product, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related
Disputes will also apply. For more information, see www .adr.org or call
1-800-778-7879. To commence arbitration, submit the form available at
go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=245497 to the AAA. You agree to
commence arbitration only in your county of residence (or if a busine ss
your principal place of business) or in King County, Wash ington.
Manufacturer agrees to commence arbitration only in your county of
residence (or if a business your principal place of business). You may
request a telephonic or in-person hearing by following the AAA rules. In
a dispute involving $10,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless
the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. The

20

arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court
could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to
you individually, and only to the extent required to satisfy your individual
claim
6 Arbitration Fees and Payments.
(a) Disputes Involving $75,000 or Less. Manufacturer will promptly
reimburse your filing fees and pay the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and
expenses. If you reject Manufacturer’s last written settlement offer made
before the arbitrator was appointed ("Manufacturer’s last written offer"),
your dispute goes all the way to an arbitrator’s decision (called an
"award"), and the arbitrator awards you more than Manufacturer’s last
written offer, Manufacturer will: (i) pay the greater of the award or $1,000;
(ii) pay twice your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (iii) reimburse
any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney
reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim
in arbitration. The arbitrator will determine the amount of fees, costs,
and expenses unless you and Manufacturer agree on them.
(b) Disputes Involving More Than $75,000. The AAA rules will govern
payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
(c) Disputes Involving Any Amount. In any arbitration you commence,
Manufacturer will seek its AAA or arbitrator’s fees and expenses, or your
filing fees it reimbursed, only if the arbitrator finds the arbitration
frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. In any arbitrati on
Manufacturer commences, Manufacturer will pay all filing, AAA, and
arbitrator’s fees and expenses. Manufacturer will not seek its attorney’s
fees or expenses from you in any arbitration. Fees and expenses are not
counted in determining how much a dispute involves.
7 Conflict with AAA Rules. This warranty governs to the extent it conflicts
with AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary
Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes.
8 Claims or Disputes Must Be Filed Within One Year. To the extent
permitted by law, any claim or dispute to which Section 6 applies must
be filed within one year in small claims court, an arbitration proceedin g,
or in court, if Section 6 permits the dispute to be filed in court instead of
arbitration. The one-year period begins when the claim or Notice of
Dispute first could be filed. If such a claim or dispute is not filed within
one year, it is permanently barred.
9 Sev er ab il it y. If th e c la ss ac ti on wa ive r i n Sec t ion 6. 4 i s fou n d t o b e i ll eg al
or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then Section 6 will
not apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed
in a court of law, with the remaining parts proc eeding in arbitration. If
any other provision of Section 6 is found to be illegal or unenforceable,
that provision will be severed with the remainder of this Section 6
remaining in full force and effect.
