Compliance Information
For Battery
Risk of explosion if battery replaced aced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batteries according to the instructions.
For Charger
Users have to use the connection to USB interfaces with USB 2.0 version or higher.
PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shell be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
Please read before proceeding
Use only the batteries and power adapter provided by the manufacturer. The use of
unauthorized accessories may void your warranty.
Do not store your phone in temperatures higher than 55° C or 131° F.
The operating temperature for this device is from -10° C to 42° C .
CE SAR Information
THIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile device 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 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Test for body worn SAR, the positions of
the device are at a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body 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 the device at the ear is
0.451 W/kg and at the body is 0.436 W/kg. Use of device accessories and
enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR values may vary depending
on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band.
CE Conformity for European Countries
The device complies with the EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and Low Voltage
Directive 2006/95/EC.
Following information is only for EU-member states:
The mark shown to the right is in compliance with the Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE).
The mark indicates the requirement NOT to dispose the equipment as
unsorted municipal waste, but use the return and collection systems according
to local law.
If the batteries, accumulators and button cells included with this equipment,
display the chemical symbol Hg, Cd, or Pb, then it means that the battery has a
heavy metal content of more than 0.0005% Mercury, or more than 0.002%
Cadmium, or more than 0.004% Lead.
