the stroke you need does not correspond to the
5 basic strokes, replace it with the special stroke
(?).

Precautions

Radio Waves

Your cellular mobile phone is a low
power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is operating, it

sends and receives radio waves. The

radio waves carry your voice or data
signal to a base station that is connected to the
telephone network. The network controls the
power at which the phone transmits.

• Your phone transmits/receives radio waves in

the GSM frequency (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz).

• The GSM network controls transmission

power (0.01 to 2 watts).

• Your phone complies with all relevant safety

standards.

• The CE mark on your phone shows

compliancy with European electromagnetic

70

compatibility (Ref. 89/336/EEC) and low

voltage directives (Ref. 73/23/EEC).
Your cellular mobile phone is your
responsibility. To avoid damage to yourself, to
others or to the phone itself, read and follow all
the safety instructions and make them known to
anyone borrowing your phone. Furthermore to
prevent unauthorised use of your phone:

Keep your phone in a safe place and

keep it out of small children's reach.

Avoid writing down your PIN code.
Try to remember it instead.

Switch off the phone and remove the battery if
you are going to leave it unused for a long time.
Change your PIN code after purchasing the
phone and to activate call restriction options.

The design of your phone complies
with all applicable laws and regulations.
However your phone may cause
interference with other electronic
devices. Consequently you should

follow all local recommendations and
regulations when using your cellular phone
both at home and when away. Regulations on

the use of cellular phones in vehicles and
aircraft are particularly stringent.

Public concern has been focused for some time on
the possible health risks for users of cellular
phones. The current research on radio wave
technology, including the GSM technology, has
been reviewed and safety standards have been
drawn up to ensure protection from exposure to
radio wave energy. Your cellular telephone

complies with all applicable safety standards

and the Radio Equipment and Telecommunications
Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC.

Always switch off your phone...

Inadequately protected or sensitive electronic
equipment may be affected by radio energy.

This interference can lead to accidents.

Before boarding an aircraft and/or
when packing the phone in your
luggage: the use of mobile phones

the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the mobile
phones network and may be illegal.

In a vehicle transporting flammable products
(even if the vehicle is parked) or a vehicle
powered by liquefied petroleum gas (LPG),
check first that the vehicle complies with the
applicable safety rules.

in an aircraft may be dangerous for

In hospitals, clinics, other health care
centres and anywhere else where you
may be in the close vicinity of medic

equ

ipment.

In areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere (e.g. petrol stations and

also areas where the air contains dust
particles, such as metal powders).

71

al

In areas where you are requested to turn off radio
transmitting devices, such as quarries or other
areas where blasting operations are in progress.

Check with the vehicle manufacturer
that electronic equipment used in
your vehicle will not be affected by
radio energy.

Pacemakers

If you have a pacemaker:

• Always keep the phone more than 15 cm
from your pacemaker when the phone is
switched on, in order to avoid potential
interference.

• Do not carry the phone in a breastpocket.

• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker to
minimise the potential interference.

• Switch off your phone if you suspect that
interference is taking place.

72

Hearing aids

If you are a user of a hearing aid, consult your
physician and hearing aid manufacturer to learn
whether your particular device is susceptible to
cellular phone interference.

Improved performance

In order to improve the performance of
your phone, reduce radio energy emission,
reduce battery consumption and ensure
safe operation adhere to the following
guidelines:

For the optimal and satisfactory
operation of the phone you are
recommended to use the phone in the
normal operating position (when not
using in hands-free mode or with a

hands-free accessory).

• Do not expose your phone to extreme
temperatures.

• Treat the phone with care. Any misuse will
void the International Guarantee.

• Do not immerse the phone in any liquid; if
your phone is damp, switch it off, remove the
battery and let them dry for 24hrs before
using them again.

• To clean the phone, wipe it with a soft cloth.

• Placing and receiving calls consumes the same
amount of battery energy. However, the
mobile consumes less energy in idle screen
when kept in the same place. When in idle
screen and while you are moving, your phone
consumes energy to transmit updated
location information to the network. Setting
the backlight for a shorter period of time as
well as avoiding unnecessary navigating in the
menus will also help to save the battery’s
energy for longer phoning and stand-by
performances.

Battery information

• Your phone is powered by a rechargeable
battery.

• Use specified charger only.

• Do not incinerate.

• Do not deform or open the battery.

• Do not allow metal objects (such as keys in
your pocket) to short circuit the battery
contacts.

• Avoid exposure to excessive heat (>60° C or
140° F), moisture or caustic environments.

You should only use Philips Authentic
Accessories, as the use of any other
accessories may damage your phone

and may be dangerous, and will make
all guarantees for your Philips phone null and
void. The use of an incorrect type of battery may
also cause an explosion.

Make sure damaged parts are replaced
immediately by a qualified technician and that they

73

are replaced with genuine Philips replacement
parts.

Your mobile phone and your car

Studies have shown that speaking on
the telephone while driving lowers
your

concentration, which can be

dangerous. Adhere to the following guidelines:

• Give your full attention to driving. Pull off the
road and park before using the phone.

• Respect the local regulations in countries
where you drive and use your GSM phone.

• If you want to use your phone in a vehicle,
install the hands-free car kit which is designed
for that purpose.

• Ensure that your phone and car kit do not
block any air bags or other security devices
fitted in your car.

• The use of an alarm system to operate a
vehicle's light or horn to indicate incoming

74

phone calls is prohibited on public roads in
some countries. Check local regulations.

EN 60950 Norm

Specific Absorption Rate Information

International standards

THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTERNATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EXPOSURE

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 defined by the international standards. These
recommendations have been established by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) that forecast a substantial safety margin for assuring the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure recommendations for mobile phones use a measurement unit known as the Specific
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the ICNIRP for the mobile phones used by
the general public is 2.0W/kg averaged over ten grams of tissue.

Tests for SAR have been conducted using recommended operating positions with the mobile 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 levels of the mobile phone while
operating are generally below the maximum SAR 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.

Specific Absorption Rate Information 85

TO RADIO WAVES

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the international protection standards for exposure to radio waves.

The highest SAR value for this Philips Xenium X501 model phone when tested for compliance against
the standard was 0.316 W/kg for ICNIRP recommendation.

For limiting the radio waves exposure, it is recommended to reduce the mobile phone call duration
or to use a headset. The purpose of those precautions is to take the mobile phone away from the
head and the body.

For body worn operation, this phone has been tested when used whit an accessory that contains no
metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5cm from the body.
