a choking.
Your phone can
produce a loud sound.
Keep away from
pacemakers and other
electronic medical
devices.
Switch off when asked
to in hospitals and
medical facilities.

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
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.
Specific 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 scientific organization
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 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 XXX W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a
range of functions, they can be used in other pos itions, s uch
13
as on the body as described in this user guide**.
As SAR is measured utilizing 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 IEC 62209-2:
2010, EN 62209-1:2006.
** Please see 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)
Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF
fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the
following advice:
14
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).
Regulatory Information
The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions
as noted.
Please find the section Declaration of RoHS Compliance
and C E D O C i n t h e e n d o f thi s manual.
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order t o
