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 organisation 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 0.758 W/kg*. As 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 utilising 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 IEC standard PT62209-1.
** Please see page 3 about body worn operation.

Body Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency 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.
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health
Organisation (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 from the WHO home page
http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.
Regulatory Information
The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as noted.
Please find Declaration of RoHS Compliance and CE DOC in the attachments.

Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an accident.

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.

Store the phone safely before driving your vehicle.
Seizures/ Blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
To minimize the risk of RSI when texting or playing games with your phone:
• 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.
8
Bright Light
The phone can produce a flashing light, so it can be used as a torch. However, do not use it
too close to the eyes.

Only qualified personnel must 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 authorised service centre.
9
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 to determine if operation of your
phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
10
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 handsfree 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.
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.
11
Blasting Caps and Areas
Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas posted turn
off “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
