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
15
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 1.29 W/kg
devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such
as on the body as described in this user guide
2
.
1
. As mobile
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.
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.
1
The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 62209-1:2006 and IEC
62209-2:2008.
2
Please see body worn operation.

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 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 online from the WHO fact
sheet N°193 at http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/
Regulatory Information
Please find the Declaration of RoHS Compliance, and EC Declaration of
Conformity in Appendix.

• 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.
Emergency Calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely
solely on any wireless phone 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.

electrical system.
Faulty and Damaged Products
Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessory.
Only qualified personnel should service or repair the phone or its accessory.
If your phone or its accessory has been submerged in water, punctured, or
subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you have taken it to be checked
at an authorized service center.
26
Interference
General Statement on Interference
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 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.
27
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.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment,
some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles
unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
28
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.
