RF Exposure
Your phone contains atransmitter and areceiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the system handling
yourcallcontrolsthe power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
thelimits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines.
Theseguidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for
this devicewhen tested at the ear was 0.506 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 utilising 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 toensure it only uses the
minimumpowerrequiredto communicate with the network.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with [EN50360-2001],
[EN62209-1:2006] and [IEC 62209-2:2008(106/162/CDV)].
** Please see page 3 about body worn operation.
Body worn operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure.
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a
minimumof 15 mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the
relevant guideline limits.

4
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World
Health Organisation (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.
Regulatory information
The declaration of RoHS compliance, EC declaration of conformity and FCC
compliance statement canbe found on page 47 to page 52.
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) causes
distraction and can 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.

believe the battery has been damaged, do not use it, take it to a service centre for
testing.
Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cmbe
maintainedbetween a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this use the phone on the opposite
ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering
noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.

10
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance
from the interference source, increasing theseparationbetween them may reduce the
interference.You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Medical devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation
of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or
health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or
airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft, if
your device offers a ‘flight mode’ this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some
vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in theirvehicles unless a
handsfree kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive environments
Petrol stations and explosive atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off
wirelessdevices such as your phone or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas, below decks

11
onboats,fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas
posted turn off “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoidinterfering with
blasting operations.
