Safety precautions for RF exposure
‧ Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any
metal.
‧ Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure
guidelines and should be avoided.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is far below the
international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based
on the safety standards previously set by international standards bodies:
‧ American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
‧ National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986
‧ International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
‧ Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation
of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body
be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized
or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance
and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local
regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your device only in its normal-use
position. Do not touch or hold the antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone
call. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a
higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE
optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six
inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
‧ Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is
