Battery

Use your handset only with batteries, chargers and

accessories recommended by the manufacturer. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage caused by the use of other chargers, batteries or accessories.

Use only the standard accessory battery. Recommended temperature for using and storing

batteries is approximately 20°C (68°F).

The battery’s performance is limited in low

temperatures, particularly below 0°C (32°F) and the handset may not work temporarily regardless of the amount of remaining battery power.

Exposing the handset to extreme temperatures will

shorten battery life.

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds

of times but it will eventually wear ou t. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

Network configuration and handset usage will affect

talk time and standby time. Using games, camera or Music Player will hasten battery consumption.

e_gx_t300_7fm.book Page 9 Friday, March 18, 2005 1:25 PM

Exposure to Radio Waves

THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emiss ion limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted level of RF energy for the general population.

The guidelines are based on standa rds that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evalu ation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The expo sure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg, * Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the FCC 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 wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure . The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.631W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this operation manual is 1.42W/kg. Body-worn Operation; This device has been tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone touching the body. Body-worn operations are re stricted to belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided. While these may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at variou s positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID APYNAR0058.

Introduction

e_gx_t300_7fm.book Page 10 Friday, March 18, 2005 1:25 PM

Additional information on Specific Absor ption rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) web-site at:

Introduction

http://www.phonefacts.net *In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for

mobile phones used by the public is 1.6Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

Declaration of Conformity

Hereby, Sharp Telecommunications of Europe Ltd, declares that this GX-T300 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1995/5/EC. A copy of the original declaration of conformity can be found at the following Internet address: http://www.sharp-mobile.com/

SAR

Your handset has been designed, manufactured and tested so as not to exceed the limits for exposure to electromagnetic fields recommended by the Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines developed by independent scientific organizations. The guidelines include a

1-10

substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of the handset user and others and to take into account variations in age and health, ind ividual sensitivities and environmental conditions. Europe an standards provide for the amount of radio frequency e lectromagnetic energy absorbed by the body when using a handset to be measured by reference to the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for the g eneral public is currently 2 watts per kilogram averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. Your handset SAR value is 0.265 watts per kilogram.

This has been tested to ensure that this limit is not exceeded even when the handset is operating at its highest certified power. In use however your handset may operate at less than full power because it is designed to use only sufficient power to commun icate with the network.
