14 15

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure

General Statement on RF Energy

Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and trans-

mits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the system handling your

call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.

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.

materials or liquids.

Don’t rely on your phone for emergency communications.

Don’t take your phone apart.

Only use approved accesso-

ries.

Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF elds, the World Health

Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:

Precautionary measures: Present scientic 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.

Distraction

Driving

Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an ac-

cident. 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.

16 17

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.

• 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 ames or lit tobacco prod-

ucts.

• 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.

Small Children

Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of small children or al-

low 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 me-

dia close to your phone for a long time.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Do not touch the UIM card’s metal connectors.

18 19

Antenna

Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily.

Specic 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 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 au-

tomatic 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.

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 ashing light.

20 21

Repetitive Motion Injuries

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

• 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 guar-

antee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wire-

less 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.

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 qualied 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.

22 23

Interference

General Statement on Interference

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical de-

vices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be main-

tained 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 alterna-

tives.

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 sen-

sitive medical equipment.

Aircraft

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or air-

line 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 ve-

hicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-

free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.

24 25

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.

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 nger can both select

and open a le. Indeed, you can ‘slide’ switches on the screen, ‘hold’ les until a list of

shortcuts pops up, casually ‘ick’ from page to page, or ‘drag’ items into the bin with a

well-aimed index nger. It’s a joy to use.
