Environmental Information
Your handset is made using the latest manufacturing techniques and environmental standards to
reduce waste and hazards to the environment. However at the end of life of the equipment the
manufacturer recommends that you return the handset and accessories to the nearest re-cycling
depot. Valuable materials such as gold, silver, and copper can be recovered from the handset. Any
toxic materials will be prevented from entering the environment and the waste materials will be
recycled.
Important Note for Dust and Water Protection
The R90 is a ruggedised handset that offers some degree of protection against dust and water
ingress. It is not waterproof and it is important to remember that the unit should not be
immersed in water and liquid damage is not covered under warranty. The protection standards
apply to limited dust and water ingress. The unit can be only considered water and dust

resistant when the port and battery covers are properly closed.

1.2 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 will transmit at a higher power,
may get hot and will have a significantly shorter battery life.
Declaration of Conformity
We declare under our sole responsibility that the product(s) detailed in this manual, and in
combination with our accessories, conform with the essential requirements of The Radio
Communications Standard (Electro-magnetic Radiation Human Exposure) 2003 and the
Australian Communications and Media Authority Section 376 of the Telecommunications Act
1999.
