RF Exposure
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When
it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you
communicate with your phone, the system handling your
call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Specic Absorption Rate (SAR)
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 scientic organisation
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the
Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile
devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device
when tested at the ear was 0.658 W/kg*. As mobile devices
offer a range of functions, they can be used in other
positions, such as on the body as described in this user
guide**.
As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically
below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes
to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum power required to communicate with the network.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with [EN503602001], [EN62209-1:2006] and [IEC 62209-2:2008].
** Please see page 3 about body worn operation.

Body worn operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency
radiation (RF) exposure.
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the
phone must be used with a minimum of 15 mm separation
from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF
exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) elds
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to
RF elds, the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the
following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientic information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use
of mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by
limiting the length of calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to
keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the
WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact
sheet 193: June 2000.
Regulatory information
The declaration of RoHS compliance and EC declaration of
conformity can be found on page 27 and page 29-30.

signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless phone for
emergency communications.

damage your hearing.
Bright Light
This phone is capable of producing ash of light or use as a
torch, do not use it too close to the eyes.

normal use.
Electrical Safety
Accessories
Use only approved accessories.
Do not connect with incompatible products or accessories.
Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins
or key rings, to contact or short-circuit the battery terminals.
Connection to a Car
Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface
to the vehicle electrical system.
Faulty and Damaged Products
Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessory.
Only qualied personnel must service or repair the phone or
its accessory.

short-circuiting can occur if a metallic object such as a key,
paper clip, or pen touches the terminals of the battery.
Improper battery use may result in a re, explosion, or other
hazard. If you believe the battery has been damaged, do not
use it, take it to a service centre for testing.
Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
To achieve this use the phone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source, increasing
the separation between them may reduce the interference.
You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Medical devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical
equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed
to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft, if your device offers a ‘ight mode’ this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree
kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive environments
Petrol stations and explosive atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone
or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include
fuelling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted turn off “two-way radios”
or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting
operations.
