Radio frequency energy

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.

27

When the phone is turned on, it receives and transmits
radio frequency (RF) energy. Depending on the type
of mobile phone you posses, it operates on different
frequency ranges and employs commonly used
modulation techniques. The system handles your call
when you are using your phone and it also controls the
power level at which your phone transmits.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information.

Your phone has been designed to comply with
applicable safety requirements for exposure to radio
waves. These requirements are based on scientific
organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines
include safety margins designed to assure the safety of
all persons, regardless of age and health.

z The radio wave exposure guidelines employ a unit

of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. Tests for SAR are
conducted by using standardized method with the
phone transmitting at its highest certified power
level in all used frequency bands.

z This phone is designed to meet the relevant

guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

z The SAR limit recommended by the international

Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP), which is 2W/kg averaged

28

over ten (10) grams of tissue.

SAR data information for residents in
countries/regions that have adopted the SAR limit
recommended by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), which is 1.6 W/kg
averaged over one (1) gram of tissue.

Electronic devices

Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from
RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment
may not be shielded against the RF signals from your
wireless phone, therefore:

z Do not use your mobile phone near medical

equipment without requesting permission.

Pacemaker

Mobile phones may affect the operation of some
implanted cardiac pacemakers and other medically
implanted equipments. Pacemaker manufacturers
recommend that a minimum separation of 20 cm. (6
inches) should be maintained between a hand-held
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with independent
research by the Wireless Technology Research
Association.

29

Persons with pacemakers

z Should always keep the phone more than 20 cm.

(6 inches) from their pacemakers when the phone
is switched on

z Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
z Should use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to

minimize the potential for interference.

z If you have any reason to suspect that interference

is taking place, switch off your phone
immediately

Hearing aids

z Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile

phones. In the event of such disturbance, you may
want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.

Aircraft

z Turn off your mobile phone before boarding any

aircraft.• Do not use it on the ground without
crew permission. To prevent interference with
communication systems, you must not use your
mobile phone while the plane is in the air.

Potentially explosive atmospheres

Switch off your phone when in any area with a

30

potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. It is rare, but your phone or its
accessories could generate sparks. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or f re resulting in
bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially
explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include fuelling areas, such as
petrol station, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust,
or metal powders, and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle
engine.

Driving

Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile
phones in the areas where you drive. If you are
going to use your phone while driving, please:

z Give full attention to driving.
z Use the “handsfree” setting. (Required by law

in many countries).

z Pull off the road and park before making or

answering a call if driving conditions so require.

RF energy may affect some electronic systems in
motor vehicles such as the car stereo, safety
equipment etc .In addition, some vehicle

31

manufacturers do not allow use of mobile phones,
unless the installation is supported by a handsfree kit
with an external antenna in their vehicles.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer’s
representative to be sure that your mobile phone will
not affect the electronic systems in your vehicle.

Emergency calls

Important:

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using
radio signals, wireless and landline networks as well
as user programmed functions. Because of this
connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any
wireless phone for essential communications (e.g.
medical emergencies).

Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless
phone networks or when certain network services
and/or phone features are in

Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful

33

interference.
(2) This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.

2. Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.
This equipment generates uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:

34

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

SAR Information Statement
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the emission limits for exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish
permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on
standards that were developed by independent
scientific organizations through periodic and
thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health. The exposure
standard for wireless mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific

35

Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by
the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for SAR are
conducted with the phone transmitting at its
highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the 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 it 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 0.614W/Kg and when worn on the body, as
described in this user guide, is

0.936W/Kg (Body-worn measurements differ
among phone models, depending upon available
accessories and FCC requirements).The

36

maximum scaled SAR in hotspot mode is

0.936W/KG 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. The
FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization
for this model phone with all reported SAR
levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC
RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on
this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/ oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: 2ABBS-A40 Additional information
on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be
found on the Cellular Telecommunications
Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at
http://www.wow-com.com. * In the United
States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a sub-stantial margin of safety to
give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.

Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn
operations. To comply with RF exposure

37

requirements, a minimum separation distance of
10mm must be maintained between the user’s
body and the handset, including the antenna.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar
accessories used by this device should not
contain any metallic components. Body-worn
accessories that do not meet these requirements
may not comply with RF exposure requirements
and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or
an approved antenna.
