Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit) causes distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fieldsFor individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice:

Safety and regulatory guide 7 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.Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf Who Fact sheet 193: June 2000.Safety precautions for RF exposureAvoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.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 RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.Exposure to radio frequency (RF) signalsYour device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.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 RF 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. C95.1-1992National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986International Commission on Non-Ionizing 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.Your mobile device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific 

8 Safety and regulatory guideorganisation ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons regardless of age and health.The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.754 W/KG@10g*.As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this user guide**.As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum power required to communicate with the network.*The tests are carried out in accordance with IEC standard PT62209-1**Please see the following section about body worn operationAs 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.Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorised or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended 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 RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your device 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 device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimises the antenna performance and the battery life.SAR compliance for body-worn operations is restricted to belt-clips, holsters, or similar accessories that have no metallic component in the assembly and provides at least 1.5 cm separation between the device and the user's body.Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.

Safety and regulatory guide 9 SAR information0.754 w/kg@10g (head), 0.732 w/kg @10g (body) *1.15 w/kg@1g (head), 1.31 w/kg @1g (body)*** NOTE: The 10g SAR value is measured at GSM/GPRS/EGPRS 900/1800 MHz and WCDMA/HSDPA Band I. The Body SAR value of 0.732 w/kg @10g has been tested with back of the device in the holster kept at 1.5 cm away from the body.** NOTE: The 1g SAR value is measured at GSM/GPRS/EGPRS 850/1900 MHz and WCDMA/HSDPA Band II & Band V. The Body SAR value of 1.31 w/kg @1g has been tested with back of the device kept at 1.5cm away from the body.Interference in carsPlease note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phone in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.Interference with medical equipment functionsThis product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
