9. Health and safety
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following them may be dangerous or illegal.
SAR Compliance
Your phone is designed not to exceed the limits of emission of radio waves recommended
by international guidelines.
SAR (specific absorption rate) is the measurement of body-absorbed RF quantity when
the phone is in use. SAR value is ascertained according to the highest RF level generated
during laboratory tests.
The SAR value of the phone may depend on factors such as proximity to the network
tower, use of accessories and other enhancements.
The true SAR level during normal phone usage will be much lower than this level.
The highest SAR value of this device at the head and body are 1.45W/kg and 1.35 W/kg
respectively averaged over 1.5cm gap of human tissue.
SAR Recommendations
Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power Bluetooth
emitter.
Please keep your calls short and use SMS whenever more convenient. This advice
applies especially to children, adolescents and pregnant women
Make sure the cell phone has a low SAR.
Prefer to use your cell phone when the signal quality is good.

17
People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell phone at least 15
cm away from the implant.
Maintain a preferable distance of 15 mm from the device.
Safe Driving
Do not use the phone while driving. When you have to use the phone, please use the
personal hands-free kit.
Please do not put the phone onto any passenger seat or any place from which it may fall
down in case of vehicular collision or emergency braking.
During Flight
Flight is influenced by interference caused by the phone. It is illegal to use a phone on the
airplane. Please turn off your phone during a flight.
In Hospitals
Your Phone’s radio waves may interfere with the functioning of inadequately shielded
medical devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to
determine whether they are adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency. Switch
off your device when regulations posted instruct you to do so.
To avoid potential interference with implanted medical devices such as a pacemaker or
cardioverter defibrillator:
Always keep your phone at least 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the medical device.
Do not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
Turn off the phone if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical
device, consult your health care provider.
Unsafe Areas
Please turn off your phone when you are close to a gas station or in the vicinity of any
place where fuel and chemical preparations, or any other dangerous goods are stored.
Note. If the version of user manual upgrades, we will do not notice. The company
has the final interpretation of the user manual.
