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, regard-
less 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 1.54 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.**

20 21
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:
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 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.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with EN 62311, EN 62209-1, IEC 62209-2.
** Please see body-worn operation.

22 23
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 regula-
tions 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.

Repetitive Motion Injuries
To minimize the risk of RSI when texting or playing games with your device:
• Do not grip the device 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 mobile device, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely solely
on any wireless device for emergency communications.

26 27
Loud Noise
This mobile device is capable of producing loud noises, which may damage your
hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones, Bluetooth stereo head-
sets or other audio devices.
Device Heating
Your device may become warm during charging and during normal use.

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.

28 29
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be
maintained between a mobile device and a pacemaker to avoid potential inter-
ference 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.
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.
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.
