6. Care and Mainten an ce
Battery care

• Your dev ice is powered by a rec hargeable battery. When
the power is weak, please charge the battery. In order to
extend the lifespan of th e battery, use all the battery's power
before recharging.

• Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device
when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger more than a week. Overcharging may shorten its
lifespan.

• Extre m e temper ature s can affect the ability of your batter y
to charge. Batter y needs t he fit tem p erature. If the
surrounding temperature is over 40°C, the battery canno t be
charged.

• Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use
any charger or battery that is da maged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting
can occur when a metallic object such as a c oin, clip, or pen

20

causes dire ct con ne ctio n of the po sitive (+) and negative (-)
terminals of the batte ry. ( These look like metal strip s on the
battery.) Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the
battery or the connecting object.

• Lea v ing the batter y in hot or c o ld places, such as in a
closed car in summer or a free zer i n winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of th e battery. Always try to
keep the battery between 59° F and 77° F (15° C a n d 25°C) . A
hot or cold battery may not function temporarily, even when
the battery is fully charged.

• Batt e r y perf o r mance i s pa rtic ul a r l y limit ed in tempera t ur es
below freezing.

• Do not dispose of batter ies in a fire! Dispose of batteri es
accordin g to local regu lations. P lease recycle wh en possib le.

moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.

• Do not sto r e the de v i c e i n ho t a r eas. Hi gh tempe ratur es
can shorten the life of ele ctronic de vices, damage batteries,
and warp or melt certain plastics.

• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device
returns to its norma l temperature, moisture can form inside

21

the device and damage electronic circuit boards.

• Do not attempt to open the device other th an as instruct ed

9. SAR Information Statement

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed a n d m anufa ctured not to e x c e ed the em i ssion
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for
the general population. The guidelines are based on
stan dards t hat wer e develo ped by ind e p ende nt scientific
organizations th rough peri odic and thorough e valuation of
scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and he alth. The exposure st andard for

24

wireless mobile phone s employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limi t set by the F C C is 1.6 W /k g . * Tests for SAR are
conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SA R is deter mine d a t t he h ighes t c er t ified
power level, the actual S AR level of the phone whi le
operating can be well below the maximum va lue. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only th e power req uire d to r ea ch the
network. In general, the closer you a re 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 ce r t ified to the FCC that it does no t excee d th e li m i t
established by the gover nment adopte d requirem ent for safe
exposure. The tests are performed in positions and loca tions
(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for thi s model
phone when tested for use at the ear is 0.649 W/Kg and
when worn on the body, as described in th is user g ui de, is

0.817 W/Kg(Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). While there may be diff er e nces between the
SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement for safe exposure. The
FCC has granted an Equipmen t Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels e valuated as in
compliance with the FCC R Fexposure guid elines. SAR

Absorption Rates (S AR) can be found on the Cellular

Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones use d by the public
is 1.6 wat ts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gra m of tissue.
The standard incorporates a sub-stantia l margin of safety to
give additional pr otection for the public and to account for
any variations in measurements.

10. Body-worn Operation

This device was tested for typical bod y-worn operations. To
comply with RF exposur e requirements, a minimum
separation distance of 15mm mu st be m aintai ned betw e en
the user’s body and the handset, including the antenn a.
Third-party belt-clips, holst ers, and similar accessorie s used
by this devi c e should not co ntain a ny metallic compo nents .
Body-worn accessories that do not meet the se requirements
may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should
be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenn a.
