Safety Information
Welcome to Opel Mobile and thanks for purchasing our products. For the best performance,
we recommend you read this manual carefully, especially the "safety instructions". 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 0.517 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 1.584 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 device 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 device 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
