Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure

General Statement on RF Energy

Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives
and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the
system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone
transmits.

15

Body Worn Operation

Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation (RF)
exposure:

To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used
with a minimum of 15 mm separation from the body.

Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure
exceeding the relevant guideline limits.

Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World
Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:

Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If
individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their
children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’
devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.

Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home
page http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.

16

Distraction

Driving

Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk
of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit) can
cause distraction and lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws
and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.

Operating Machinery

Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce
the risk of an accident.

Product Handling

General Statement on Handling and Use

You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any
consequences of its use.

You must always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is
prohibited. Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to
protect users and their environment.

17

 Always treat your phone and its accessories with care and keep it in a

clean and dust-free place.

 Do not expose your phone or its accessories to open flames or lit tobacco

products.

 Do not expose your phone or its accessories to liquid, moisture or high

humidity.

 Do not drop, throw or try to bend your phone or its accessories.
 Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or aerosols to clean

the device or its accessories.

 Do not paint your phone or its accessories.
 Do not attempt to disassemble your phone or its accessories, only

authorized personnel must do so.

 Do not expose your phone or its accessories to extreme temperatures,

minimum - [5] and maximum + [50] degrees Celsius.

 Please check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
 Do not carry your phone in your back pocket as it could break when you

sit down.

18

Small Children

Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of small
children or allow them to play with it.

They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone.
Your phone contains small parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury

or may become detached and create a choking hazard.

Demagnetization

To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not allow electronic devices or
magnetic media close to your phone for a long time.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Do not touch the UIM card’s metal connectors.

Antenna

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international

19

guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.862 W/kg*. As mobile
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such
as on the body as described in this user guide**.

As SAR is measured utilizing the device's highest transmitting power, the
actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated
above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum power required to communicate with the
network.

* Please see body-worn operation.

Normal Use Position

When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your phone to your ear, with the
bottom towards your mouth.

20

Air Bags

Do not place a phone in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area.

Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.

Seizures/Blackouts

The phone can produce a bright or flashing light.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

To minimize the risk of RSI when texting or playing games with your phone:

21

 Do not grip the phone too tightly.
 Press the buttons lightly.
 Use the special features which are designed to minimize the times of

pressing buttons, such as Message Templates and Predictive Text.

 Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.

Emergency Calls

This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely
solely on any wireless phone for emergency communications.

Loud Noise

This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may damage your
hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones, Bluetooth stereo
headsets or other audio devices.

Phone Heating

Your phone may become warm during charging and during normal use.

22

Electrical Safety

Accessories

Use only approved accessories.
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings,

to contact or short-circuit in the battery terminals.

Connection to a Car

Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface to the vehicle
electrical system.

Faulty and Damaged Products

Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessory.
Only qualified personnel must service or repair the phone or its accessory.
If your phone or its accessory has been submerged in water, punctured, or

subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you have taken it to be checked
at an authorized service centre.

23

Interference

General Statement on Interference

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal
medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm
be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the
opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience
interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.

The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the
distance from the interference source, increasing the separation between
them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

24

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if
operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical
device.

Hospitals

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics
or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible
interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Aircraft

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by
airport or airline staff.

Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the
aircraft, if your device offers a ‘airplane mode’ this must be enabled prior to
boarding an aircraft.

Interference in Cars

Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment,
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their

25

vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.

Explosive Environments

Petrol Stations and Explosive Atmospheres

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to
turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas, below
decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Blasting Caps and Areas

Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or
in areas posted power off “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid
interfering with blasting operations.

26

Getting Started

Thanks for choosing MTAG 281. MTAG 281 supports CDMA1X/EvDo
networks. Please read this guide carefully and keep it for future reference.

And don’t worry if the pictures we use to demonstrate your phone’s functions

look a little different from what you see on its screen. It’s the functions they
show that matter.

Another thing you’ll notice is that we talk about ‘tapping’ a lot. That’s because

your phone has a touch-screen, which means a simple tap with your finger
can both select and open a file. Indeed, you can ‘slide’ switches on the

screen, ‘hold’ files until a list of shortcuts pops up, casually ‘flick’ from page

to page, or ‘drag’ items into the bin with a well-aimed index finger. It’s a joy to
use.
