pacemaker. These recommendations are
consistent with the independent research
and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research.
Persons with pacemaker should take note
of their conditions. If there is any reason to
suspect that interference is taking place,
please switch OFF your phone immediately.
Observe the following diligently:
Should always keep the phone at a
distance of more than 6 inches from
the pacemaker when the phone is

Your phone is not water and moisture
resistant or resistant to extreme
temperatures. Do not use the device in damp
or wet areas as moisture and liquids may
corrode its parts. Do not expose your phone
to temperature below -10 degrees or above
+55 degrees Celsius.
Operating Distance
This phone model is tested and meets RF
exposure guidelines if used as follows when
receiving or transmitting voice or data:
Against the ear: hold the phone as
normally would in using a landline phone.
Body worn: place in a carrying accessory
with no metal parts at 1.5 cm minimum
distance from the body. Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance.
Position the phone 1.5 cm away from the
body if no body worn accessory is used or
not holding it against the ear.
8 Safety Precautions
The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g.: at ear or worn on the body) as
required by the FCC for each model. The
highest SAR for this model when tested for
use at head is 0.705 W/kg (1900MHz) and
0.411 W/kg (850MHz), while 0.766 W/kg
(1900MHz) and 1.460 W/kg (850 MHz) at
body.
To comply with RF exposure requirements,
a minimum distance of 1.5 cm between the
body and the device must be maintained. Third
party holsters and similar accessories must not
contain metallic parts. Body-worn accessories
that do not meet these requirements may not
comply with the RF exposure requirements
and should be avoided. Unauthorized antenna,
modifications, or attachments could impair call
quality, damage the phone, or result in violation
of regulations. Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna, if a damaged antenna
comes in contact with the skin, may result to a
minor burn. Contact your dealer for a
replacement.
This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitters.
limits to radio waves or radiofrequency (RF)
energy set by the FCC of USA. Given in terms
of a unit referred to as the Specific Absorption
Rate (SAR), which is a measure of the amount
of radio frequency energy absorbed by the
body when using a mobile phone, these limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines adopted
and consistent with recommendations by
independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough scientific evaluations.
The standards include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all
persons regardless of age and health.
The FCC limit for public exposure from
cellular telephones is an SAR level of 1.6 watts
per kilogram (1.6 W/kg) ave. over 1 gram of
tissue.
Tests are conducted with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power levels
in all tested frequency bands. Thus, the actual
operating SAR level can be well below the
maximum value. This is because your phone is
designed to use only minimum power required
to reach the network. As a general rule, the
closer you are to wireless base station antenna
the lower the power output.
