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 securely

closed.

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

The highest SAR value recorded is 0. 539 W/Kg at GSM 900 MHz.
