To avoid the risk of demagnetization, do not allow electronic
devices or magnetic media close to your phone for a long
time.
Electrostatic Disc harge (ESD)

bag deployment area.
Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.
Seizures/ Blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
To minimize the risk of RSI when texting or playing games
with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.
• Press the buttons lightly.
• Use the special features which are designed to minimize
the times of pressing buttons, such as Message
Templates and Predictive Text.
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.
Antenna
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio
signals, which cannot guarantee connection in all conditions.
13
Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless phon e
for emergency communications.
Loud Noise
This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may
damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using
headphones, Bluetooth stereo headsets or other audio
devices.
Phone Heating
Your phone may become warm during charging and during
normal use.
Electrical Safety
Accessories

its accessory.
If your phone or its ac cesso ry has b een su bmerg ed in w ater,
punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until
you have taken it to be checked at an authorized service
centre.
Interference
General Statement on Interface
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
15
16
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.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interfere nce to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid
the use of mobile phones in their v ehicles unl ess a
hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the
installation.
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 ‘flight mode’, this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
17
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
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way radios”
or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting
operations.
18
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 handlin g 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 exposu re to radi o
waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independe nt scienti fic
organization ICNIRP and incl ude sa fety margi ns desig ned
to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement kn own 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 0.993 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 device’s high est
transmitt in g po wer , t he ac tu al SAR of th is devi c e whi l e
operating is typically below that indicated above. This is
due to automatic changes to the power level o f the d evice
to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to
communicate with the network.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 50360,
EN 62209-1, and EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation.
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regardi ng radio f requenc y
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:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information
does not indicate the need for any special precaut ions for
the use of mobile phones. If ind i vi duals 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 p hones away fro m the
head and body.
