04 Appendix Safety Precautions for Radio Frequency Exposure Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal. Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local Radio Frequency exposure guidelines and should be avoided. Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Your phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of Radio Frequency energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by international standards bodies: • American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-199 • National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986 • International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996 • Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. 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 mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment. ...
Appendix 05 limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country. To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to Radio Frequency energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your phone only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your phone to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when your phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life. Body-worn measurements were tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of your phone kept 1.5 cm from the body. SAR Information 0.954 W/kg@10g (Head) 1.870 W/kg@10g (Body) Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) Safety Information Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers: Should ALWAYS keep your phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when your phone is turned on. Should not carry your phone in a breast pocket. Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone off immediately.
06 Appendix Hearing Aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your wireless service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your phone to determine if they are adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn the phone off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external Radio Frequency energy. WEEE Notice The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered into force as European law on 1th February 00, resulted in a major change in the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life. The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce disposal. The WEEE logo (shown at the left) on the product or on its box indicates that this product must not be disposed of or dumped with your other household waste. You are liable to dispose of all your electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating over to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at the time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural resources. Moreover, proper recycling of the electronic and electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of human health and environment. For more information about electronic and electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery, and collection points, please contact your local city centre, household waste disposal service, shop from where you purchased the equipment, or manufacturer of the equipment.
