Your cellular mobile phone is a Low Power Radio transmitter and receiver. When it is
operating, it sends and receives radio waves. The radio waves carry your voice or data signal
to a base station that is connected to the telephone network. The network controls the power
at which the phone transmits.
•Your phone transmits/receives radio waves in the GSM frequency (900/ 1800/1900 MHz).
•The GSM network controls transmission power(0.01 to 2 watts).
•Your phone complies with all relevant safety standards.
•The CE mark on your phone shows compliancy with European electromagnetic compatibility
(Ref.89/336/EEC) and low voltage directives (Ref. 73/23/EEC).
Your cellular mobile phone is your responsibility. To avoid damage to yourself, to others or to

devices. Consequently you should follow all local recommendations and regulations when
using your cellular phone both at home and when away. Regulations on the use of cellular
phones in vehicles and aircraft are particularly stringent. Public concern has been focused for
some time on the possible health risks for users of cellular phones. The current research on
radio wave technology, including the GSM technology, has been reviewed and safety
standards have been drawn up to ensure protection from exposure to radio wave energy.
Your cellular telephone complies with all applicable safety standards and the Radio
Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive1999/5/EC.
