Product safety information
RADIO WAVES:
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.
It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency
(RF) energy. 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. These guidelines
include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption
Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities
such as the Federal Communications Commission of
the US Government (FCC), or by Industry Canada, is 1.6
W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the mobile 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 mobile phone
while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the mobile 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 antenna, the
lower the power output of the mobile phone. Before a
mobile phone model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with national regulations and standards
must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone
when tested is 0.79 W/Kg for use at the ear and
0.76 W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various mobile phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.
For body-worn operation, the mobile phone meets FCC
RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a
non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 10
mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not
ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the
Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association
(CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers
that present scientific information does not indicate
the need for any special precautions for 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. (fact sheet n°193). Additional
WHO information about electromagnetic fields and
public health are available on the following website:
http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
Note: This equipment 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 radiate 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 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 modifications not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation
of a licensed radio service (e.g. FM broadcast), they
bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this device
does not cause harmful interference.
For other devices, they bear the following statement:
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
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Your mobile phone is equipped with a built-in antenna.
For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or
degrading it.
As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can
be used in positions other than against your ear. In
such circumstances the device will be compliant with
the guidelines when used with headset or usb data
cable. If you are using another accessory ensure that
whatever product is used is free of any metal and that
it positions the mobile phone at least 10 mm away
from the body.
FCC ID: 2ACCJH014

Interference
General statement on interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a
minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between
a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this use
the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and
do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants
may experience interference noises when using
wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level
of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source,
increasing the separation between them may reduce
the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid
manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical devices
Please consult your doctor and the device
manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone
may interfere with the operation of your medical
device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do
so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These
requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are
instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless
devices on board the aircraft, if your device offers a
‘flight mode’ this must be enabled prior to boarding
an aircraft.
Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers
forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless
a handsfree kit with an external antenna is included in
the installation.
Explosive environments
Petrol stations and explosive atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres,
obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such
as your phone or other radio equipment.
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include
fuelling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders.
Blasting caps and areas
Turn off your mobile phone or wireless device when
in a blasting area or in areas posted with notifications
requesting "two-way radios" or "electronic devices" are
turned off to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
Protection against theft (1)
Your telephone is identified by an IMEI (phone serial
number) shown on the packaging label and in the
product’s memory. We recommend that you note
the number the first time you use your telephone by
entering * # 0 6 # and keep it in a safe place. It may
be requested by the police or your operator if your
telephone is stolen. This number allows your mobile
telephone to be blocked preventing a third person
from using it, even with a different SIM card.
