Safety and use������������������������������
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your phone. The
manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of
improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given that studies show that using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle constitutes
a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset...), drivers are
requested to refrain from using their mobile when the vehicle is not parked.
When driving, do not use your phone and headphone to listen to music or to the
radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your phone emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere with
the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure
that there is no problem:
- do not place your phone on top of the dashboard or within an airbag deployment
area,
- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the dashboard
is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimise its
performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated
areas.As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, mobile telephones
can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment using radio
frequency.
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all
signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or chemical plant, or in
any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical
device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump, etc. In particular when using
the phone, you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your phone to your ear.Also
move the handset away from your ear while using the "hands-free" mode because the
amplified volume might cause hearing damage.

• RADIO WAVES:
Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European
Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all mobile phone models before they can
be put on the market. The protection of the health and safety for the user and any
other person is an essential requirement of these standards or this directive.
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields)
recommended by international guidelines. The guidelines were developed by an
independent scientific organisations (ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The
highest SAR values under the ICNIRP guidelines for this device model are:
6055K:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded�
Head SAR XXXX XX W/kg
Body-worn SAR XXXX XX W/kg
6055P:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded�
Head SAR XXXX XX W/kg
Body-worn SAR XXXX XX W/kg

9
6055Y:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded�
Head SAR XXXX XXXX W/kg
Body-worn SAR XXXX XXXX W/kg
6070K:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded�
Head SAR XXXX XXXX W/kg
Body-worn SAR XXXX XXXX W/kg
6070Y:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it was
recorded�
Head SAR XXXX XXXX W/kg
Body-worn SAR XXXX XXXX W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values
stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize
interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile device is
automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the
power output of the device, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance of 10 mm.
To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device should be
positioned at least this distance away from the body.
If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that whatever product is used is
free of any metal and that it positions the phone the indicated distance away from
the body.
Organisations such as the World Health organisations and the US Food and Drug
Administration have stated that if people are concerned and want to reduce their
exposure they could use a hands-free device to keep the phone away from the head
and body during phone calls, or reduce the amount of time spent on the phone.

the following site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should
avoid touching it or degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions other than
against your ear. In such circumstances the device will be compliant with the guidelines
when used with headset or usb data cable. If you are using another accessory ensure
that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the phone at
least 10 mm away from the body.
