Information on health
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) published statements and questions and answers concerning mobile phones and health.
HMD Global encourages you to visit these websites for updated information. You can access the
• FDA website at www.fda.gov/Radiation-emittingProducts/RadiationEmittingProductsandProcedures/
HomeBusinessandEntertainment/CellPhones/default.htm and the
• FCC website at www.fcc.gov/engineeringtechnology/electromagnetic-compatibility-division/radio-
frequency-safety/faq/rf-safety.
Additional health related information is available from:
• The World Health Organization (WHO) at www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs193/en/ and from
• The National Cancer Institute ("NCI") at www.cancer.gov/about-cancer/causes-prevention/risk/
radiation/cell-phones-fact-sheet.
In the event that you are concerned about possible health effects, the FDA suggests that you limit your own or
your children's radio frequency (RF) exposure by limiting the length of calls or by using hands-free devices.
Hearing
Warning: When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not use the
headset where it can endanger your safety. Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
Vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in vehicles. For more
info, check with the manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment.
Only authorized personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation may be dangerous and
invalidate your warranty. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and
operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as the
device, its parts, or accessories. Do not place your device or accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch your device off in potentially explosive environments, such as near gas stations. Sparks may cause
an explosion or fire resulting in injury or death. Note restrictions in areas with fuel; chemical plants; or
where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive environment may not be clearly
marked. These usually are areas where you are advised to switch your engine off, below deck on boats,
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and where the air contains chemicals or particles. Check with the
manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if this device can be
safely used in their vicinity.
Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves as set forth by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Refer to the following.
FCC RF Exposure Information
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission
limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the
U.S. Government. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organization through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The
exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this
model handset as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.06 W/kg, and when worn on the body
in a holder or carry case, is 1.17 W/kg.
Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the handset kept 1.5 cm
from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain
a 1.5 cm separation distance between the user's body and the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and
similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do
not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model handset with all reported SAR levels evaluated
as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this model handset is on file with
the FCC and can be found under the FCC ID Search section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on FCC ID
2AJOTTA-1398. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the FCC website
at www.fcc.gov/general/radio-frequencysafety-0.
To send data or messages, a good connection to the network is needed. Sending may be delayed until such a
connection is available. Follow the separation distance instructions until the sending is finished.
During general use, the SAR values are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for
purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your
mobile is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output, the
lower the SAR value. Device models may have different versions and more than one value. Component and
design changes may occur over time and some changes could affect SAR values.
For more info, go to www.sar-tick.com. Note that mobile devices may be transmitting even if you are not
making a voice call.
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
guidelines. FCC ratings for your device and more information on SAR can be found at http://transition.fcc.
gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific information does not indicate the
need for any special precautions when using mobile devices. If you are interested in reducing your exposure,
they recommend you limit your usage or use a hands-free kit to keep the device away from your head and
body. For more information and explanations and discussions on RF exposure, go to the WHO website at
www.who.int/peh-emf/en.
FCC notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. For more info, go to www.fcc.gov/
engineeringtechnology/electromagnetic-compatibility-division/radiofrequency-safety/faq/rf-safety. Any
changes or modifications not expressly approved by HMD Global could void the user's authority to operate
this equipment. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
