The ring tone, info tones, and handsfree talking are
reproduced through the loudspeaker. Do not hold the phone
to your ear when it rings or when you have switched on the
handsfree function (at least 3.9 inches (10 cm)).
Use only batteries and charging devices designed for your
phone. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and
property and may void any warranty.
CAUTION!
Small parts like the SIM card could be
swallowed by young children.
Do NOT open the phone. Only the battery and the SIM card
may be removed. Do NOT open the battery.
Keep the battery out of chidren's reach. Do not allow the
battery to be put into the mouth.
Distance of operation
This phone is designed to comply with the FCC radio
frequency (RF) exposure guidelines when used as follows:
- Against the ear:
Place or receive a phone call and hold
the phone as you would a wireline telephone.
- Body worn:
When transmitting, place the phone in a
carrying accessory that contains no metal and positions
the phone a minimum of 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) from your
body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with exposure guidelines. If you do not use a
body worn accessory and are not holding the phone at
the ear, position the phone a minimum of 0.59 inches
(1.5 cm) from your body.
- Data operation:
When using a data feature, position the
phone a minimum of 0.59 inches (1.5 cm) from your
body for the whole duration of the data transmission.
FDA consumer information on wireless
phones
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) provides
consumer
information
at: http://www.fda.gov/cellphones/qa.html.
Following are safety related questions and answers
discussed at this web site:
Do wireless phones pose a health hazard?
The available scientific evidence does not show that any
health problems are associated with using wireless phones.
There is no proof, however, that wireless phones are
absolutely safe. Wireless phones emit low levels of
radiofrequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while
being used. They also emit very low levels of RF when in
the stand-by mode. Whereas high levels of RF can produce
health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF
that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some
studies have suggested that some biological effects may
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. In some cases, other researchers have
had difficulty in reproducing those studies, or in determining
the reasons for inconsistent results.
What is FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless
phones?
Under the law, FDA does not review the safety of
radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless
phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs
or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to
take action if wireless phones are shown to emit
radiofrequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to
the user. In such a case, FDA could require the
on
wireless
phones
