Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use

Please read these simple guidelines. Not
following these guidelines may be dangerous or
illegal. Further detailed information is given in
this manual.
Certification information (SAR)
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL
GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency
(RF) recommended by international guidelines
(ICNIRP). 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
organizations through periodic and thorough
evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines
include a substantial safety margin designed to
assure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile devices
employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/
kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard
operating positions with the device 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 of the device while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the
device 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, the lower the power output of
the device. 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 device when tested for use at the
ear is 0.929 W/kg.
This device meets RF exposure guidelines when
used either in the normal use position against
the ear or when positioned at least 1.5 cm away
from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or
holder is used for body-worn operation, it should
not contain metal and should position the product
at least 1.5 cm away from your body. In order
to transmit data files or messages, this device
requires a quality connection to the network.
In some cases, transmission of data files or
messages may be delayed until such a connection
is available. Ensure the above separation distance
instructions are followed until the transmission is
completed. The highest SAR value for this device
when tested for use at the body is 1.46 W/kg.
* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the
public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten grams of body tissue. The guidelines
