Health and Safety information

SAR

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 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 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 1.15 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 utilizing the devices 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 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.
(**) Please see the Distance of operation section about body worn operation, on page 8.

6 Health and Safety information

Advice for limiting exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields

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 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.

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).

Electrical safety

Only use the chargers listed in the manufacturer’s catalogue. Using any other charger may be dangerous; it
would also invalidate your warranty. Line voltage must be exactly the one indicated on the charger’s serial
plate.

Charging the battery

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery. A new battery must be
charged for 4 hours at least before being used for the first time. It reaches its
optimum capacity after a few cycles of use.

When your battery has been discharged, the phone displays the state (empty
battery icon flashes). In this case recharge your battery for at least 15

minutes

before making any calls in order not to be cut off in the middle of a call.

Note:

Each telephone has a specific charger with the appropriate connectors
for the telephone with which it is sold. Using any other charger, or using the
charger with any device other than the telephone will lead to an exclusion of
warranty.

To recharge the battery:

- Plug the end of the cable into the phone connector.

- Connect the charger to a socket

The phone is then charging up. The battery icon scrolls up and down to indicate that it is charging. When the
battery is fully charged, the charging stops on its own. Disconnect the cable.

When charging, the battery may warm up, this is normal.
When you recharge the battery, make sure that the mains socket where you plug in the charger is easy to

access.
