Important Information
SAR
European Union – RTTE
THIS PANASONIC PHONE (MODEL EB-SC3) MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy recommended by The Council of the
European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. The limits include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The
SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is
2.0 W/kg*. Tests for SAR have been conducted using standard
operating positions 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 base station antenna, the lower the
power output of the phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance
with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive
includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health
and the safety for the user and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this model phone, when tested for use at
the ear, for compliance against the standard was
0.650W/kg
.
7
Important Information
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the
normal use position against the ear or when positioned at least
1.5 cm away from the body.
When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn
operation, it should not contain metal and should position the
product at least 1.5 cm away from your body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the EU requirements
for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in
measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national
reporting requirements and the network band.
8
Care and maintenance
Pressing any of the keys may produce a loud tone. Avoid
holding the phone close to the ear while pressing the keys.
Extreme temperatures may have a temporary effect on the
operation of your phone. This is normal and does not
indicate a fault. The display quality may deteriorate if the
phone is used in environments over 40°C for a long time.
Do not modify or disassemble the equipment. There are
no user serviceable parts inside.
Do not subject the equipment to excessive vibration or
shocks. Do not drop the battery.
Avoid contact with liquids or moisture. If the equipment
becomes wet, immediately remove the battery and
charger. Keep the phone dry.
Do not leave the equipment in direct sunlight or a humid,
dusty or hot area. Never throw a battery into a fire. It may
explode.
Keep metallic items that may accidentally touch the
terminals away from the equipment/battery.
Batteries can cause property damage, injury, or burns if
terminals are touched with a conductive material (i.e.
metal jewellery, keys, etc.).
Important Information
9
Important Information
Always charge the battery in a well ventilated area, not in
direct sunlight, between +5°C and +35°C. It is not possible
to recharge the battery if it is outside this temperature
range.
When connecting the phone to an external source, read
the operating instructions of the equipment for the correct
connection and safety precautions. Ensure the phone is
compatible with the product it is being connected to.
When disposing of any packing materials or old
equipment, check with your local authorities for
information on recycling.
