Liquid Damage - Important Note
Your ruggedised handset is compliant with the IP54 Standard which gives limited
protection from dust and liquid ingress. It is not waterproof and should never be immersed
in any liquid. The handset contains liquid detecting stickers and any liquid damage will
void your warranty. To ensure continued protection against liquid damage the battery cover,
antenna port and USB port cover must be properly closed.
5
RF Safety Information
The handset has an internal antenna located at the top of the phone. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption do not cover the antenna area with your
hand. Hold the handset between thumb and finger in the middle of the device. Covering
the antenna affects call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power level
than needed, and may shorten talk and idle times.
Radio Frequency Energy
The handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it
intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power
level is optimized for best performance and automatically reduces when there is good
quality reception. Maximum power is only used at the edge of network coverage so under
most circumstances the power output is very low. Under poor network conditions the
phone transmits at a higher power, may get hot and have a significantly shorter battery life.
Declaration of Conformity - SAR (Specific Absorption Rate)
We declare that the product(s) detailed in this manual, and in combination with our
accessories, conform with the essential requirements of The Radio Communications
Standard (Electro-magnetic Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the Australian
Communications and Media Authority Section 376 of the Telecommunications Act 1997.
N14945 / Z1196
The SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device
6
when tested at the ear was 0.821 W/kg* and at the body worn was 1.360 W/kg*
Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency(RF) radiation 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.
FCC Compliance
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
