Warning:
don't try to remove or replace the battery yourself—doing so may damage the
battery and could cause burning and injury. If your phone becomes unresponsive, try a
reboot—press and hold the Power key until the screen goes dark and your phone
restarts.
*Water resistance:
prolonged exposure to water. Do not submerge in more than three feet of water or for
longer than 30 minutes.

COMMUNICATION LIMITS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) adopted by
the Ministry of Communication. These limits include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit in India for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The highest
SAR values under the guidelines for your device mo del are listed below:
Head GSM 900MHz, WiFi, Bluetooth 0.905 W/kg
Body LTE B7, WiFi, Bluetooth 1.069 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for your device are usually well below the values
stated. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimise interference
on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased
when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the
lower its SAR value.
If you are interested in further reducing your RF exposure then you can easily do so by
limiting your usage or simply using a hands-free kit to keep the device away from the
head and body.
