Page 87
Important usage information
Signal Strength
The quality of each call you make or receive
safety and usage information
depends on the signal strength in your area. Your
phone informs you of the current signal strength by
displaying a number of bars next to the signal
strength icon. The more bars displayed, the stronger
the signal. If you’re inside a building, being near a
window may give you better reception.
Understanding How Your Phone
Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and
transmits radio frequency (RF) signals. When you
use your phone, the system handling your call
controls the power level. This power can range from
0.006 watts to 0.2 watts.
78
Allow only qualified personnel to service
your device
Allowing unqualified personnel to service your device
may result in damage to your device and will void
your warranty.
Ensure maximum battery and charger
life
• Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as
overcharging may shorten battery life.
• Over time, unused batteries will discharge and
must be recharged before use.
• Disconnect chargers from power sources when
not in use.
• Use batteries only for their intended purpose.
Page 88
Handle SIM cards and memory cards
with care
• Do not remove a card while the device is
transferring or accessing information, as this
could result in loss of data and/or damage to the
card or device.
• Protect cards from strong shocks, static
electricity, and electrical noise from other devices.
• Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life
span of memory cards.
• Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals
with your fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the
card with a soft cloth.
Ensure access to emergency services
Emergency calls from your device may not be
possible in some areas or circumstances. Before
travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an
alternate method of contacting emergency services
personnel.

Radio frequency safety
The design of your phone complies with updated
NCRP standards described below. In 1991-92, the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard for safety
levels with respect to human exposure to RF signals.
More than 120 scientists, engineers and physicians
from universities, government health agencies and
industries developed this updated standard after
reviewing the available body of research. In 1993,
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
adopted this updated standard in a regulation. In
August 1996, the FCC adopted hybrid standard
consisting of the existing ANSI/IEEE standard and
the guidelines published by the National Council of
Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP).
Page 90
Acknowledging special precautions and
Industry Canada notice
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply withthe limits of 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:
• Reorient / 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.
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR)
The SAR is a value that corresponds to the relative
amount of RF energy absorbed in the head of a user
of a wireless handset.
The SAR value of a phone is the result of an
extensive testing, measuring and calculation
process. It does not represent how much RF the
phone emits. All phone models are tested at their
highest value in strict laboratory settings. But when in
operation, the SAR of a phone can be substantially
less than the level reported to the FCC. This is
safety and usage information
81
Page 91
because of a variety of factors including its proximity
to a base station antenna, phone design and other
factors. What is important to remember is that each
phone meets strict federal guidelines. Variations in
SARs do not represent a variation in safety.
safety and usage information
All phones must meet the federal standard, which
incorporates a substantial margin of safety. SAR
values at or below the federal standard of 1.6 W/kg
are considered safe for use by the public.
