• CHARGERS
Mains powered chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0 °C to 40 °C.
The chargers designed for your mobile phone meet with the standard for safety of information technology equipment and office equipment use.
They should be used for this purpose only.
• RADIO WAVES:
Proof of compliance with international standards (ICNIRP) or with European Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE) is required of all mobile phone
models before they can be put on the market. The protection of the health and safety for the user and any other person is an essential
requirement of these standards or this directive.
THIS MOBILE PHONE COMPLIES WITH INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN REQUIREMENTS REGARDING EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter/receiver. It was designed and manufactured to comply with the radiofrequency (RF) exposure thresholds
recommended by international requirements (ICNIRP)
(1)
and by the Council of the European Union (Recommendation 1999/519/EC)
(2)
.
These limits are part of a set of requirements and establish authorised radiofrequency levels for the public. These limits were established by
independent groups of experts on the basis of regular and detailed scientific assessments.They include a significant safety margin intended to
ensure the safety of all, regardless of age or state of health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones is determined by a measurement unit known as the Specific Absorption Rate or “SAR”.The SAR limit
is set by international requirements or by the Council of the European Union at 2 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue.
The tests used to determine SAR levels were carried out on the basis of standard usage modes with the phones transmitting at their maximum
power level over the entire range of frequency bands.
Although the SAR was established at the highest certified level, the actual SAR level for the mobile phone during use is generally much lower
than the maximum values. In fact, since mobile phones are designed to operate at many different power levels, they only use the minimum level
of power required to provide a connection to the network. In theory, the closer you are to a base station antenna, the lower the power level
required by the mobile phone.
The highest tested SAR value for this mobile phone for use at the ear and compliance against the standard is 0.34 W/kg. While there may be
differences between the SAR levels on various phones and at various positions, they all meet the relevant International guidelines and EU
requirements for RF (radio-waves) exposure.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for
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 (fact sheet n° 193). Additional information about
electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following site: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Your telephone is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.
