13
RF Exposure
General Statement on RF Energy
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with
your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level
at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is de-
signed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recom-
mended by international guidelines. These guidelines were devel-
oped by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and in-
clude safety margins designed to assure the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Ab-
sorption 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 1.35 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**.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s 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 power
required to communicate with the network.

14
* The tests are carried out in accordance with IEC standard
PT62209-1.
** Please see body-worn operation.
Body-Worn Operation
Important safety information regarding radio frequency radiation
(RF) exposure:
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must
be used with a minimum of 15 mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF expo-
sure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.
Limiting Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields,
the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile
phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit
their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of
calls, or using ‘hands-free’ devices to keep mobile phones away
from the head and body.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO
home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June
2000.

15
Regulatory Information
The following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as
noted.
Please find the section Declaration of RoHS Compliance and CE
DOC in the end of this manual.
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce
the risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a
hands free kit) can cause distraction and lead to an accident. You
must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the use of
wireless devices while driving.
Operating Machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to
reduce the risk of an accident.
Product Handling
General Statement on Handling and Use
