Radio frequency safety information
The device has an internal antenna. For optimum

Your wireless device 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 optimised
for best performance and is automatically reduced
when there is good quality reception. Maximum
power is used only at the edge of network coverage
so under most circumstances the power output is
very low. Under poor network conditions the device

transmits at a higher power, may get hot and may
have a significantly shorter battery life.
