HEALTH AND SAFETY
RF/SAR information
Your phone contains a transmitter and receiver. When powered ON it receives and transmits low-level radio-frequency (RF). Country
governments all over the world adopt state security guidelines developed by independent scientific organisations such as ICNIRP and
IEEE. These guidelines establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for absorbed radio quantity when using mobile devices. SAR tests are
conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certied power level, however, the actual SAR
level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the
power output of the phone.
The SAR values may vary, depending on dierent models of phones. To ensure the safety and health of the users, the phone is
designed and manufactured to meet the radio exposure guidelines.
The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobiles devices used by the general public is 2W/kg and highest SAR value for this device is tested for use at
the ear is below the SAR limit recommended by ICNIRP. WCDMA Band I front side, middle 10g value: 1.22 W/Kg.
Batteries
• Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any way. Use the battery correctly.
• Do not short-circuit the battery, which may damage it, cause heat or cause re.
• Do not dispose of batteries in high temperature or in a re as they may explode. Return the waste battery to the dealer or appointed
recycle locations.
• Do not dispose as household waste. Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge, the type of battery, and the
charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.
• When the operation time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to replace the battery with a new one.
• Use only original or approved chargers and batteries. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use.
• Do not over charge as this will damage the battery and shorten its life. Leaving the battery in extremely hot or cold places will reduce
the capacity of the battery. Li-ion batteries are particularly aected by temperatures below 0°C.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in the area you are in, and always switch OFF your phone whenever it is forbidden to
use it, or it may cause danger. When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its User’s Guide for detailed safety
instructions. Do not connect incompatible products. It is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the normal operating
position. Do not expose the equipment to temperatures below -10° or above 50°C.
