Pacemakers and Other Medical Devices

Studies have shown that there may be a potential
interaction between mobile phones and normal pacemaker
operation. The pacemaker industry recommends that
people with pacemakers follow these guidelines to
min imize any ri sk of in terf ere nce wi th pac emak er
operation:

-

-

-

-

Always maintain a distance of 15 cm (6 inches)
between the pacemaker and any mobile phone that is
turned on.

Store the phone on the opposite side of the pacemaker.
Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket.

Use the ear furthest from the pacemaker in order to
minimize any potential for interference.

If you think that interference may be occurring, turn off
the phone immediately.

For other medical devices, consult with your physician
or the manufacturer to determine if your mobile phone
may interfere with the device, and to determine any
precautions that you can take to avoid interference.

-

Emergency Calls
Important: This device operates using radio signals,

w ir e l e ss n e tw o r k s, l and l i n e n e two r k s , a n d u s er­programmed functions. If your device supports voice calls
over the Internet (Internet calls), activate both the Internet
calls and the cellular phone. The device may attempt to
make emergency calls over both the cellular networks and
through your Internet call provider if both are activated.
Connections in all conditions cannot be guaranteed.

- 4-

You should never rely solely on any wireless device for
essential communications like medical emergencies

When making an emergency call, give all the necessary
information as accurately as possible. Your wireless
device may be the only means of communication at the
scene of an accident. Do not end the call until given
permission to do so.

Avoid Repetitive Motion

You may experience occasional discomfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body if you
perform repetitive activities, such as typing or playing
games, on the device.

Take frequent breaks. If you have discomfort while or after
using the device, stop using and see a physician.

Advices on how to reduce radio waves exposure

Reduce the amount of exposure as a precautionary
measure whenever possible.

In order to reduce the amount of exposure, always use
your mobile device when reception signal is strong. 4 or
5 signal bars indicates a good level of reception. It is
therefore not recommended to use your mobile device
inside a train, or inside an underground car park.
Always prefer to use a handsfree earset when talking.
You are reminded that the use of your mobile device is
forbidden when driving your car.
Pregnant women are advised to place the mobile device
away from the stomach.

This mobile phone model meets the guidelines for
exposure to radio waves.

Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio
waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed
to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age
and health. The exposure guidelines for mobile devices
employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the
ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over 10 grams of tissue.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
actual SAR level of an operating device can be below the
maximum value because the device is designed to use
only the power required to reach the network. That amount
changes depending on a number of factors such as how
close you are to a network base station.

The highest SAR value under the ICNIRP guidelines for
use of this device at the ear is 0.932 W/kg.

1.3.1. Important Information for Subscribers to Free,
Bouygues Telecom and Virtual Mobile Phone

Service Providers

1.3.1.1.French Subscribers to Free and Virtual Mobile

Phone Service Providers

Virtual mobile phone service provider refers to service
p r o v i d e r s w h o d o n o t h a v e a n y G S M n e t w o r k
infrastructures of its own and must rely on the network
infrastructure of an existing network operator (for France:
Orange, SFR and Bouygues Telecom). If you subscribe to
a virtual mobile phone service provider, the phone will
connect to a network that does not belong to the SIM card
operator. Your phone will then interpret that you are
abroad and display a roaming alert message (see below)

before you dial a call, send
a message, receive an MMS
or connect to the Internet in
order to warn you of the risk
of being overcharged. By
default, attempts to connect
t o t h e I n t e r n e t wi l l b e
refused.

- 15-

You may encounter this alert message if you subscribe to
Free (as Free uses for the time being part of the Orange's
network infrastructure) as well as any virtual mobile phone
service provider (non-exhaustive list: Afone Mobile,

Budget Mobile, BuzzMobile, Bazile Telecom, Carrefour
Mobile, Casino Mobile, La Poste Mobile, Lycamobile, M6
Mobile, NRJ Mobile, Symacom Mobile, Transatel mobile, U
Mobile, Virgin Mobile).

You can choose to disable
th e ro ami ng a le rt a nd

steps. From the Home
screen, tap , then

select “System settings”
a n d c h o o s e “ S I M
management”. After that,
select “Roaming” in the
below screen.

- 16-

If you do not want the phone to display the roaming alert

message in data mode (when you connect to the Internet,

for example), select the option “Data roaming” in the

below screen. Then tap OK to validate the warning

message and select your network operator.

After that, select the second option “Always”. By default,

you are always notified whenever additional cost is

generated during roaming. To stop displaying the alert

message, select “Never”.

- 17-

Important Note: You will not receive any roaming alert
when you are abroad. You should be particularly vigilant
and preferably restore the roaming alert to warn you of the
risk of being overcharged by your operator. You can also
disable mobile data completely (please refer to section

1.2.).

If you live in France in the border area (with Belgium,
Switzerland, Spain, Italy), it is strongly recommended
that you do not to turn off the roaming alert because

there is a risk that the phone connects to a foreign network
when your main network's signal is momentarily absent.
For more information, please contact your service
provider.

Important Remark: If the “R” symbol is displayed at the
top right corner of the screen, next to the signal strength
indicator, that means you are roaming. By consequent,
substantial charges may apply for calls and mobile data.
