Health and safety information
phone warms up to its normal operating temperature,
moisture can form inside the phone, which may
damage the phone's electronic circuit boards.
• Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough
handling can break internal circuit boards.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or
strong detergents to clean the phone. Wipe it with a
soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water
solution.
• Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device's
moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such
as a microwave oven, a stove or a radiator. The phone
may explode when overheated.
• When the phone or battery gets wet, the label
indicating water damage inside the phone changes
color. In this case, phone repairs are no longer
guaranteed by the manufacturer's warranty, even if
the warranty for your phone has not expired.
• If your phone has a flash or light, do not use it too
close to the eyes of people or animals. This may cause

SAR certification information
This phone meets European Union (EU) requirements
concerning exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured to not exceed the
limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy, as
recommended by the EU Council. 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 organisations
through the periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The SAR limit recommended by the EU Council is
2.0 W/kg.
The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams of body tissue. The limit incorporates
a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. The SAR values
may vary, depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.
The highest SAR value for this model phone was
0.332W/kg.
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating
positions with the phone 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 level of the phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This
is because the phone 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 phone.
Before a new model phone is available for sale to the
public, compliance with the European R&TTE Directive
must be shown. This directive includes as one of its
essential requirements the protection of the health and
safety of the user and any other person.
