- １ - Specific Absorption Rate Information International Standards 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 Specific 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 certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified 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 are: On the 800MHz: 0.565/ 10g, 1.05/ 1g, on the 1900MHz: 0.603/ 10g, 1.06/ 1g, and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, are: on the 800MHz: 0.812/ 10g, 1.14/ 1g, on the 1900MHz: 0.282/ 10g, 0.471/ 1g (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 file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on VR2AV110. 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 not 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.

Use and Care To care for your Phone, please follow these instructions: • Don’t expose your phone to water, rain, extreme humidity, sweat, or other moisture. • Avoid temperatures below -10°C/14°F or above 45°C/133°F • Don’t try to dry your phone in a microwave oven • Don’t expose your phone to dust, dirt, sand, food, or other inappropriate materials. • To clean your phone, use only a dry soft cloth. Don’t use alcohol or other cleaning solutions. • Don’t drop your phone. Specific Absorption Rate Data This Model wireless phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) of the U.S Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age or health.
- 19 - The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR, The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/Kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified 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 power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public in the U.S, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit establish for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g, at the ear and worn on the body) reported to the FCC. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products, in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.phonefacts.net In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 W/Kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

Safety and General information This section contains important information on safe and efficient operation of your mobile phone. Read this information before using your mobile phone. Exposure To Radio Frequency (RF) Energy Your mobile phone contains a transmitter as receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your mobile phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your mobile phone transmits. Your mobile phone is designed to comply with local regulatory requirements in your country concerning exposure of human beings to RF energy.
- 21 - Operational Precautions For optimal mobile phone performance and to be sure that human exposure to RF energy does not exceed the guidelines set forth in the relevant standard, always follow these instructions and precautions. Product Operation When placing or receiving a phone call, hold your mobile phone just like you would a landline phone. If you wear the mobile phone on your body, always place the mobile phone in a manufactured-supplied or approved clip, holder, holster, case or body harness. If you do no use a body-worn accessory supplied or approved by the manufacturer, keep the mobile phone and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body when transmitting. When using any data feature of the mobile phone, with or without an accessory cable, position the mobile phone and its antenna at least 2.5 centimeters (1 inch) from your body. Using accessories not supplied or approved by the manufacturer may cause your mobile phone to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. RF Energy Interference/Compatibility Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances your mobile phone may cause interference with other devices.
- 22 - This device 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. Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems Turn off your mobile phone in any location where posted notices instruct you to do so. These locations include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy. In an aircraft, turn off your mobile phone whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your mobile phone offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight. Pacemakers If you have a pacemaker, consult your physician before using this device. Persons with pacemakers should observe the following precautions: • ALWAYS keep the mobile phone more than 20 centimeters (8 inches) from your pacemaker when the mobile phone is turned ON. • DO NOT carry the mobile phone in the breast pocket. • Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. • Turn OFF the mobile phone immediately if you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
- 23 - Hearing Aids Some digital mobile phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer or physician to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult your physician or the manufacture of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Driving Precautions Check and obey the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones in the area where you drive. When using your mobile phone while driving, please: • Give full attention to driving and to the road. Using a mobile phone may be distracting. Discontinue a call if you can’t concentrate on driving. • Use hands free operation, if available. • Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Operational Warning Obey all posted signs when using mobile phones in public areas, such as health care facilities or blasting areas. Automobile Air Bags Do not place a mobile phone in the air bag deployment area.
- 24 - Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always posted, and can include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, or areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. When you are in such an area, turn off your mobile phone, and do not remove, install, or charge batteries. In such areas, sparks can occur and cause an explosion or fire. Damaged Products If your mobile phone or battery has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to a Manufacturer Authorized Service Center. Do not attempt to dry it with an external heat source, such as a microwave oven. Batteries and Chargers • AC adapter is designed for indoor use only. • Always use original manufacturer authorized batteries and chargers. • Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery. • Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean. • Recharge the battery after long periods of non-use to maximize battery life. • Battery life will vary due to usage patterns and environmental conditions. • The self-protection function of the battery cuts the power of the phone when its operation is in an abnormal status. In this case, remove the battery from the phone, reinsert it, and turn the phone on. • If jewelry, keys, beaded chains, or other conductive materials touch exposed battery terminals, this could complete an electrical circuit (short circuit), become very hot, and could cause damage or injury. Be careful
- 25 - when handling a charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. • Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause serious injury. • Caution: To avoid risk of personal injury, do not dispose of your battery in a fire. Your battery, charger, or mobile phone may contain symbols, defined as follows: Choking Hazards Your mobile phone or its accessories may include detachable parts, which may present a choking hazard to small children. Keep your mobile phone and its accessories away from small children. Symbol Definition Your mobile phone contains an internal Lithium- Iion battery. Your battery or mobile phone may require recycling in accordance with local laws. Contact your local regulatory authorities for more information. Do not throw your battery or mobile phone in the trash.
- 26 - Glass Parts Some parts of your mobile phone may be made of glass. This glass could break if the product is dropped on a hard surface or receives a substantial impact. If glass breaks, do not touch or attempt to remove. Stop using your mobile phone until the glass is replaced by a qualified service center. Seizures/Blackouts Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, such as when playing video games. These may occur even if a person has never had a previous seizure or blackout. Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones Some phones are measured for compatibility with hearing aids. If the box for your particular model has “Rated for Hearing Aids” printed on it, the following explanation applies. When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobiles phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
- 27 - M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.) Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from your mobile phone. Information from the World Health Organization Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile phones. If you are concerned, you may want to limit your own or your children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls or by using handsfree devices to keep mobile phones away from your head and body.

Smart Driving Practices Check and obey the laws and regulations on the use of mobile phones and their accessories in the areas where you drive. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas. Your mobile phone lets you communicate by voice and data-almost anywhere, anytime, wherever wireless service is available and safe conditions allow. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility. If you choose to use your mobile phone while driving, remember the following tips: • Get to know your mobile phone and its features such as speed dial and redial. If available, these features help you to place your call without taking your attention off the road.
- 29 - • When available, use a handsfree device. If possible, add an additional layer of convenience to your mobile phone with one of the many handsfree accessories available today. • Position your mobile phone within easy reach. Be able to access your mobile phone without removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time, if possible, let your voice mail answer it for you. • Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call in heavy traffic or hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and even heavy traffic can be hazardous. • Do not take notes or look up phone numbers while driving. Jotting down a “to do” list or going through your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility-driving safely. • Dial sensibly and assess the traffic; if possible, place calls when your car is not moving or before pulling into traffic. If you must make a call while moving, dial only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue. • Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that can divert your attention away from the road. • Use your mobile phone to call for help. Dial 911 or other local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic accident, or medical emergencies. • Use your mobile phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress, or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number. • Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when necessary. If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call roadside assistance or other special non-emergency wireless number.
- 30 - General Information • Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit card, near your phone. The magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip. • Talking on your phone for long periods of time may reduce call quality due to heat generated during use. • When the phone is not used for a long period time, store it in a safe place with the power cord unplugged. • The data saved in your phone might be deleted due to careless use, repair of the phone, or upgrade of the software. Please backup your important phone numbers. (Ring tones, text messages, and voice messages could also be deleted.) The manufacturer is not liable for damage due to the loss of data. • Do not turn your phone on or off when the phone is close to your ear.
