RF Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
Your mobile device contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON,
it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your
device, the system handling your call controls the power level at which
your device 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
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 1.58 W/kg*. As
16
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 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.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 62311, EN 62209-1,
IEC 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation.
Body-worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation (RF)
exposure:
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure
exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
17
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 devices. 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 devices 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
The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as noted.
Please find the Declaration of RoHS Compliance, and EC Declaration of
Conformity in Appendix.
18
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the
risk of an accident. Using a mobile device while driving (even with a hands
free kit) can cause distraction and lead to an accident. You must comply
with local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while
driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce
the risk of an accident.

checked at an authorized service center.
Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the mobile device 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 device and a pacemaker to avoid
potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the
mobile device on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it
in a breast pocket.
25
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 to determine if
operation of your mobile device 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.
26
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 mob ile phone s in their vehicle s
unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
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.
27
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
