6Important Health Information and Safety Precautions
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
NON-IONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in
its normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety
from interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and
for personal safety, it is recommended that no part of the human body
be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the
equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified
antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well
as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your
country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to
RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards,
always use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the
antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate
at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna
area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and
the battery life.
