Liquid Damage - Important Note
Your ruggedised handset is compliant with the IP54 Standard which gives limited protection
from dust and liquid ingress. It is not waterproof and should never be immersed in any liquid.
The handset contains liquid detecting stickers and any liquid damage will void your warranty.
To ensure continued protection against liquid damage the battery cover, antenna port and USB
port cover must be properly closed.

RF Safety Information
The handset has an internal antenna located at the top of the phone. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption do not cover the antenna area with your hand.
Hold the handset between thumb and finger in the middle of the device. Covering the antenna
affects call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power level than needed, and
may shorten talk and idle times.
Radio Frequency Energy
The handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it intermittently
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimized for
best performance and automatically reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum
power is only used at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power
output is very low. Under poor network conditions the phone transmits at a higher power, may
get hot and have a significantly shorter battery life.
Declaration of Conformity - SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
We declare that the product(s) detailed in this manual, and in combination with our accessories,
conform with the essential requirements of The Radio Communications Standard
(Electro-magnetic Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the Australian Communications and
Media Authority Section 376 of the Telecommunications Act 1997. N14945 / Z1196
The highest SAR value recorded is 0. 539 W/Kg at GSM 900 MHz.
