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 1997.
