If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before
you can make an emergency call. Consult this guide and your local cellular
service provider.
When making an emergency call, remember to give all the necessary information
as accurately as possible. Remember that your wireless phone may be the only
means of communication at the scene of an accident - do not cut off the call
until given permission to do so.
Certification information (SAR)
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE EU REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF)
energy recommended by The Council of the European Union. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
limits include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended by The
Council of the European Union is 2.0 W/kg.* Tests for SAR have been conducted
using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone
while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone
is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the
European R&TTE directive must be shown. This directive includes as one essential
requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the user and any
other person. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for
compliance against the standard was 0.63 W/kg. While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet
the EU requirements for RF exposure.
* The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial margin of
