Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)

Xda Zest has been designed, manufactured and tested not to exceed the limits for exposure
to electromagnetic fields recommended by the Council of the European Union. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines developed by independent scientific organisations.
European standards provide for the amount of radio frequency electromagnetic energy absorbed by the body
when using a phone to be measured by reference to the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for the
general public is currently 2 watts per kilogram averaged over 10 grams of body tissue.
The maximum SAR value for the O

Xda Zest is 0.754 W/kg @10g (CE).
Xda care
You should never attempt to open the Xda casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside and you might
damage sensitive electronic circuits and components. Unauthorised disassembly will void the warranty.
You should never leave your Xda in the window of your car or otherwise expose it to strong sunlight or
excessive heat for a prolonged period. This may damage it.
You should never handle your Xda with wet hands or expose it to moisture or liquids of any kind.
Continuous changes from a cold to a warm environment may lead to condensation inside the Xda, resulting
in corrosion and possible damage.
If you pack your Xda in your suitcase during travel, beware of damage. Cramming a suitcase may crack the
LCD display. Remember to switch off your wireless connections during air travel.
