THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits f or exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to ensure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific 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 a range of functions, t hey c an be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide (**).

As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this dev ice 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 level required to reach the network.

The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a 'hands-free' device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body. Additional Information can be found on the websites of the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf

(*) The tests are carried out in accordance with international

guidelines for testing.

Advice for limiting exposure to radiofrequenc y (RF) field s

For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:

Precautionary measures: Present scientific 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 t he 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 193: June 2000.

WHO Fact sheet

Safety

Never attempt to disassemble your phone. You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any consequences of its use.

As a general rule, always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is prohibited.

Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.

Do not use your phone in damp areas (bathroom, swimming pool…). Protect it from liquids and other moisture.

Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures lower than

- 10°C and higher than + 55°C. The physicochemical processes created by chargers impose

temperature limits when charging the battery. Your phone automatically protects the batteries in extreme temperatures.

Do not leave your phone within the reach of small children (certain removable parts may be accidentally ingested).

Health and Safety information

This mobile phone is considered as an electronic device, with no radio functions, once you activate the flight mode. Using a mobile phone may be dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may disrupt the phone network. Its use is illegal and you could be prosecut ed or banned from using cellular networks in the future if you do not abide by these regulations.

Explosive materials

Please comply with warning signs at petrol stations asking you to switch your phone off. You will need to comply with radio equipment usage restrictions in places such as chemical plants, fuel depots and at any location where blasting operations are under way.

Electronic equipment

To avoid the risk of demagnetisation, do not leave electronic devices close to your phone for long periods.

Electronic medical equipment

Your phone is a radio transmitter which may interfere with electronic medical equipment or implants, such as hearing aids, pacemakers, insulin pumps, etc. It is recommended that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between the phone and an implant. Your doctor or the manufacturers of such equipment will be able to give you any advice you may need in this area.

Hospitals

Always make sure that your phone is switched off in hospitals when so instructed by warning signs or by medical staff.
