8. Health and safety
Please read these simple guidelines. Not following them may be dangerous or illegal.
SAR Compliance
• Your phone is designed not to exceed the limits of emission of radio waves recommended by
international guidelines.
• SAR (specific absorption rate) is the measurement of body-absorbed RF quantity when the phone is
in use. SAR value is ascertained according to the highest RF level generated during laboratory tests.
• The SAR value of the phone may depend on factors such as proximity to the network tower, use of
accessories and other enhancements.
• The true SAR level during normal phone usage will be much lower than this level.
• The highest SAR value of this device at the head and body are 1.43w/kg and 0.889w/kg
respectively averaged over 1.5cm gap of human tissue.
SAR Recommendations
• Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power Bluetooth emitter.
• Please keep your calls short and use SMS whenever more convenient. This advice applies especially
to children, adolescents and pregnant women
• Make sure the cell phone has a low SAR.
• Prefer to use your cell phone when the signal quality is good.
• People having active medical implants should preferably keep the cell phone at least 15 cm away
from the implant.
• Maintain a preferable distance of 15 mm from the device.
Safe Driving
• Do not use the phone while driving. When you have to use the phone, please use the personal
hands-free kit.
• Please do not put the phone onto any passenger seat or any place from which it may fall down in
case of vehicular collision or emergency braking.
During Flight
• Flight is influenced by interference caused by the phone. It is illegal to use a phone on the airplane.
Please turn off your phone during a flight.
In Hospitals
• Your Phone’s radio waves may interfere with the functioning of inadequately shielded medical
devices. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine whether they are
adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency. Switch off your device when regulations posted
instruct you to do so.
• To avoid potential interference with implanted medical devices such as a pacemaker or cardioverter
defibrillator:
• Always keep your phone at least 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the medical device.
• Do not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Turn off the phone if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
• Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
• If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult
your health care provider.
Unsafe Areas
• Please turn off your phone when you are close to a gas station or in the vicinity of any place
where fuel and chemical preparations, or any other dangerous goods are stored.
