WARRANTY INFORMATION The warranty does not apply to defects or errors caused by: (a) Normal wear and tear, mishandling, physical damage, improper installation. (b) Water, exposure to solvents or any other liquid damage. (c) Any unauthorised disassembly, repair or modification. (d) Power surges, lightning, fire, flood or other natural events.
SAFETY GENERAL STATEMENT ON RF ENERGY The phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The transmit power level is optimised for best performance and automatically reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used at the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output is very low.
