Please read these simple guidelines. Not following these guidelines may be dangerous
or illegal.
Exposure to radio frequency energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by
international guidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
were developed by independent scientific organisations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines
is 2.0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.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because
the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower
the power output of the device. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes
as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user
and any other person.
The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.000W/kg.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position
against the ear or when positioned at least 1.5cm away from the body. When a
carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should not contain
metal and should position the product at least 1.5cm away from your body. In order
Guidelines for safe and efficient use

Guidelines for safe and efficient use
to transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the
network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed until
such a connection is available. Ensure the above separation distance instructions are
followed until the transmission is completed. The highest SAR value for this device
when tested for use at the body is 0.000W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0watts/ kilogram (W/
kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting
requirements and the network band.
FCC SAR information
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements for exposure to radio
waves established by the Federal Communications Commission (USA) and Industry
Canada. These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6W/kg averaged over 1gram of
tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification
for use at the ear is 0.00W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 0.00 W/kg.
Additionally, this device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 1cm (0.39 inches) between the users body and the back of the phone.
To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1cm
(0.39 inches) must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
* FCC Notice & Caution
Notice!
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

• Do not use, touch or attempt to remove or fix broken, chipped or cracked glass.
Damage to the glass display due to abuse or misuse is not covered under the
warranty.
• Your phone is an electronic device that generates heat during normal operation.
Extremely prolonged, direct skin contact in the absence of adequate ventilation may
result in discomfort or minor burns. Therefore, use care when handling your phone
during or immediately after operation.
Efficient phone operation
Electronic and medical devices
All mobile phones may receive interference, which could affect performance.
• Do not use your mobile phone near medical equipment without requesting
permission. Please consult your doctor to determine if operation of your phone may
interfere with the operation of your medical device.
• Some hearing aids might be disturbed by mobile phones.
• Minor interference may affect TVs, radios, PCs, etc.

9
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15cm be
maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. To achieve this use the phone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
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.
Road safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area when you
drive.
• Do not use a hand-held phone while driving.
• Give full attention to driving.
• Use a hands-free kit, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions
require you to do so.
• RF energy may affect some electronic systems in your vehicle such as car stereos
and safety equipment.
• If your vehicle is equipped with an air bag, do not obstruct with installed or portable
wireless equipment. It can cause the air bag to fail or cause serious injury due to
improper performance.
• If you are listening to music while out and about, please ensure that the volume is at
a reasonable level so that you are aware of your surroundings. This is of particular
importance when near roads.
