PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING
VEHICLE USE
• It is the user's responsibility to verify if local laws
permit the use of a mobile phone in a vehicle. Give
full attention to driving. Pull off onto the side of a
road and park the car before making or answering a
call.
• If local laws permit, we recommend that you use your
phone with the attached handsfree.
• Use of your phone's function may interfere with the
vehicle's electronic systems, such as the ABS anti-
lock brakes or the air-bag. To ensure no such problem
occurs, please check with your dealer or car
manufacturer before connecting your phone.
• Only allow qualified service maintenance personnel
to install the vehicle accessories.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage
which may result as a consequence of improper use or
use contrary to the instructions contained herein.
SAR
Your Sharp mobile phone has been designed,
manufactured and tested so as not to exceed the limits
for exposure to electromagnetic fields as required by
the DGT. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines developed by independent scientific
organisations. The guidelines include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of the phone
user and others and to take into account variations in
age and health, individual sensitivities and
environmental conditions. The DGT rules provide for
the amount of radio frequency electromagnetic energy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone to be
measured by reference to the Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The SAR limit for the general public is
currently 1.6 watts per kilogram as averaged over any 1
gram of tissue. Your Sharp mobile phone SAR value is
0.574 watts per kilogram. This has been tested to ensure
that this limit is not exceeded even when the phone is
operating at its highest certified power. In use however
your Sharp mobile phone may operate at less than full
power because it is designed to use only sufficient
power to communicate with the network.
