Guidelines For Safe And Efficient Use - NTT docomo FOMA SO706i Instruction Manual

Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure and SAR
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver.
When it is turned on, it emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio
frequency fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection) and IEEE (The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.), through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of
radio wave exposure for the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest
certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the mobile phone while
operating can be well below this value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations
in safety. While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, all Sony Ericsson
mobile phone models are designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that
it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The
tests are performed in positions and locations (that is, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by
the FCC for each model. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets FCC RF
exposure guidelines when the handset is positioned a minimum of 15 mm from the body without any
metal parts in the vicinity of the phone or when used with the original Sony Ericsson body worn
accessory intended for this phone. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
SAR information for this mobile phone model is included with the material that comes with this mobile
phone. This information can also be found, together with more information on radio frequency
exposure and SAR, on: www.sonyericsson.com

Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please read this information before using your mobile phone.
These instructions are intended for your safety. Please follow these guidelines. If the product has been
subject to any of the conditions listed below or you have any doubt as to its proper function make sure
you have the product checked by a certified service partner before charging or using it. Failure to do so
might entail a risk of product malfunction or even a potential hazard to your health.
Recommendations for safe use of product (mobile phone, battery, charger and other accessories)
□ Always treat your product with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
□ Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.
□ Do not expose your product to liquid or moisture or humidity.
□ Do not expose your product to extremely high or low temperatures. Do not expose the battery to
temperatures above +35°C (+95°F).
□ Do not expose your product to open flames or lit tobacco products.
□ Do not drop, throw or try to bend your product.
