the guidelines in force for recycling used batteries
and phones.
3. Be careful not to crush or damage the
battery, as this could cause an internal short
circuit and overheating.
4. Thebattery can be recharged several
hundred times before needing to be replaced.
When it shows signsof losing its power, it can be
replaced.
5. If you do notuse your mobile phone for an
extended period,remember to rechargethebattery
to optimise its use time.
6. Do not throw batteries away with household
waste: recycle them in accordance with the
manufacturer’s guidelines. If the battery is

soft cloth ifthey appeardirty.
10. Emergencycalls: the emergencynumbers may
not be accessible on all mobile telephone
networks, in isolated areas or areas where there is
no coverage;checkfirstwith your operator..
11.Radio Frequency Exposure: Your mobile
phone has been designed and manufactured in
accordance with the international.

guidelines (ICNIRP1) on exposure to radio
frequencies. These guidelines, which are based on
various studies and research, have been
developed by independent scientific
organisations to ensure thesafetyof
everyone who usesa mobile phone.
Thesafetyinformation on exposure to radio
waves usesaunit of measurement known as SAR
(Specific Absorption Rate).Theinternational
guidelines have set this limit at 2W/kg*.Thephone
is used in standard operating positions when being
testedfor its SAR.
1International Commissionon Non-Ionising RadiationProtection
In addition, all models of phonemust undergotests
beforebeing marketedto ensure compliancewith the
European R&TTE directive.
This directive publishes strict rules for guaranteeing
thesafety of users and for preventing any risks
to health.
The maximum SAR value tested on this device
when used in its normal position at theear is
TBDW/kg and TBDW/kg when used closetothe
body, at a minimum distance of 5 mm. The device
complies with RF specifications when used near
your ear or at a distance of 5mm from your body.
The device uses a high-quality network
connection for transmitting files,data and
messages. On occasion, the transmission of files
or messagesmay be delayed until the
connection is available. When this is the case, be
sure to follow theinstructions regarding the
separation distance for establishing the
transmission. If you use a case,
Although theSAR is determined using the
highest power level,thephone’s real rate of
specific absorption whilst in operation may be well
below the maximum value.
Aphone is designed to operate at different
power levels so that it only usesthe power it
needs to be connected to the network.

belt-clipor holderfor carrying the phone,it must not
containanymetal and should be kept at a
minimum distanceof 5mm from your body.
*The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2.0 watts / kilogram
(W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. SAR values
may vary according to the standards for reporting
informationthat are in force in different countries.
To reduce theadverse effects of prolonged radiation
exposure, we advise teenagers to hold the phone
away from their lower abdomen, and that pregnant
women hold the phone at adistance from their
stomach.

Tips for ReducingExposure levels:
We recommend that you use yourphone in
good reception conditions in order to reduce the
amount of radiation received.It is advisable to limit
the amount of time you usethe phone in
underground car parks and when travelling by car
or train, etc.
Reception conditions are indicated by thebars that
are displayed on your phone: themore bars there
are, the betterthe reception quality.
We recommend that you usethehands-free kit
to reduce exposure to radiation.
•Type * #06 #on your mobile telephone’s keypad.

accumulators and acce ssories must undergo
selective wastemanagement.
Make surethat, when your phone is no longerusable,
you put it in a suitablewaste bin or returnit to a mobile
phone retailer. In this way you will help to reduce
environmentaland healthhazards.
Local councils,retailers and national manufacturing
associations will give you thenecessary information
on how to disposeof your old device.
