Care and safety information
The phone was designed to operate at the power level strictly neces-sary to ensure communication with the network. In general,
the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power at which the phone will transmit.
Validation of conformity with European directive 1999/5 (directive R&TTE) is a pre-requisite for introducing any model of phone
onto the market. Protection of health and the safety of the public and the user are a vital requirement of this directive. This
model's maximum SAR value measured at the compliance test for use at the ear was 0.76 W/kg. Although differences may exist
from one phone to the other and depending on position, all comply with European regulations.
Advice for limiting exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the following
advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's' RF exposure by limiting the
length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body.
