RF Safety Information
The handset has an internal antenna located at the top of the phone. For optimum
performance with minimum power consumption do not cover the antenna area with your
hand. Hold the handset between thumb and finger in the middle of the device. Covering the
antenna affects call quality, may cause the handset to operate at higher power level than
needed, and may shorten talk and idle times.
Radio Frequency Energy
The handset is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver.When switched on it intermittently
transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves).The transmit power level is optimized for
best performance and automatically reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum
power is only used at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power
output is very low. Under poor network conditions the phone transmits at a higher power,
may get hot and have a significantly shorter battery life.

We declare that the product(s) detailed in this manual, and in combination with our

(Electro-magnetic Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the Australian Communications and
