General Safety

12

Switch off when near
explosive materials or
liquids.

Only use approved
accessories.

Don‘t rely on your phone for emergency communications.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This model phone meets the government‘s requirements for

exposure to radio waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the

emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government:

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
*Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base

13

station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to

the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.33 W/kg and
when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is

0.626 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on

FCC ID: Q78-V880.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and

meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and the positions the
handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn
accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position
the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the
phone is switched on.

14

Distraction

Driving

Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to

Only qualified personnel can 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
centre.

20

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
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.

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer

21

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.

22

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.
