Safety Precautions for Radio Frequency Exposure
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
Radio Frequency exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
•

Appendix 199
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. 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 Radio Frequency
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. C95.1-1992
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
Report 86. 1986
International 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.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in usage.
As 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 phone has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use
of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage your
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 Radio
Frequency energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards;
always use your phone only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the
antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with

200 Appendix
the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your phone to operate at a
higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when
your phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
Body-worn measurements were tested for typical body-worn operations with the
back of your phone kept 1.5 cm from the body.

Safety Information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep your phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when your phone is turned on.
Should not carry your phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your wireless service provider, or call
the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Appendix 201
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
phone to determine if they are adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn the phone off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external Radio Frequency energy.
WEEE Notice
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered
into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in
the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and
in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such
wastes so as to reduce disposal.
