Safety Information
Read this entire manual carefully before you start using the
device. This will take you a few minutes, but it will save you time
later and will allow you to enjoy all the features on your device.
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
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, regardless of age and
health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the 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 0.254 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**. In this case, the highest
tested SAR value is 1.059 W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices 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
level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions
for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce
your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or
using a ‘hands-free’ device to keep the mobile phone away from
the head and body.

Additional Information can be found on the website of the World
Health Organization
*The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
**For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets
the RF exposure guidelines when used with the Opel Mobile
accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with RF exposure
guidelines
