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 nger in the middle of the device. Covering the antenna aects call quality, may
cause the handset to operate at higher power level than needed, and may shorten talk and idle time.
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
signicantly shorter battery life.
Declaration of Conformity - SAR (Specic Absorption Rate)
We declare 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 1997.
The maximum SAR value recorded is 1.05 W/Kg at 850MHz GSM.
