166FCC Regulations_Mobile•This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.•This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
167RF Exposure information (SAR)This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 0.843 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.191 W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on le with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: MSQP527.
168Additional Information can be found on the websites of the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf).* The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing. The limit incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. Additional related information includes the ASUS testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
169Safety informationPhone careYou should never attempt to open the phone casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside and you might damage sensitive electronic circuits and components. Unauthorized disassembly will void the warranty.You should never leave your phone in the window of your car or otherwise expose it to strong sunlight or excessive heat for a prolonged period. This may damage it.You should never handle your phone with wet hands or expose it to moisture or liquids of any kind. Continuous changes from a cold to a warm environment may lead to condensation inside the phone, resulting in corrosion and possible damage.If you pack your phone in your suitcase during travel, beware of damage. Cramming a suitcase may crack the LCD display. Remember to switch off your wireless connections during air travel.As with all other radio devices, touching the built-in antenna area during telephone conversation may impair the quality and lead to shorter standby time due to increased power consumption.The batteryYour phone is equipped with a high-performance Li-Ion battery. Optional battery types may be available; check with your local retailer. Observe the maintenance guidelines and your battery should give you a long service life.
170• At the beginning of the battery’s life, fully charge and discharge (let it go at) three times.• Do not overcharge the Li-Ion battery, as this can result in a reduction in battery performance and lifespan. The recommended maximum charge time is three hours.• Avoid repeated short charging. It is preferable to let the battery go at and then recharge it completely.• Avoid charging in strong heat or extreme cold. Ambient room temperature is preferable. The battery has its optimum performance in an ambient temperature of +5 °C to +50 °C.• Don’t store a battery near a re or heat source.• Use only the battery approved by the manufacturer.• Never replace the battery with a non-approved battery.• Never soak the battery in water or any other uid.• Never try to open the battery as it contains substances that might be harmful if swallowed or allowed to come into contact with unprotected skin.• Never short-circuit the battery, as it may overheat and cause a re. Keep it away from jewellery and other metal objects.• Never dispose of the battery in a re. It could explode and release harmful substances into the environment.• Never dispose of the battery with your regular household waste. Take it to a hazardous material collection point.• Do not touch the battery terminals.
171The charger• Use only the charger supplied with your phone.• Never pull the charger cord to release it from the mains – pull the charger itself. WARNING! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.Memory card• Do not remove or insert a memory card or turn off the handset while data on the card is being edited.• Do not touch the metal terminals with your hands or metal objects.• Do not bend the memory card or subject it to violent impacts.
