• TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given that studies show that using a mobile phone while driving
a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is
used (car kit, headset...), drivers are requested to refrain from using
their mobile phone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws
and regulations on the use of wireless mobile phones and their
accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use
of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.
When driving, do not use your mobile phone and headphone to listen
to music or to the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and
forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your mobile phone emits electromagnetic waves
that can interfere with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS
anti-lock brakes or airbags. To ensure that there is no problem:
- do not place your mobile phone on top of the dashboard or
within an airbag deployment area,
- check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure
that the car’s electronic devices are shielded from mobile phone
RF energy.
• CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the mobile phone from time to time to
optimize its performance.
Remember to abide by local authority rules of mobile phone use
on aircrafts.
Operational Warnings: Obey all posted signs when using mobile
devices in public areas.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems: Turn off your
mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to
do so. In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed
to do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode
or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in flight.
Switch the mobile phone off when you are in health care facilities,
except in designated areas. As with many other types of equipment
now in regular use, mobile phones can interfere with other electrical or
electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.

mobile phone regarding taking photographs and recording sounds
with your mobile phone. Pursuant to such laws and regulations,
it may be strictly forbidden to take photographs and/or to record
the voices of other people or any of their personal attributes, and
reproduce or distribute them, as this may be considered to be an
invasion of privacy.
It is the user’s sole responsibility to ensure that prior authorization
be obtained, if necessary, in order to record private or confidential
conversations or take a photograph of another person; the
manufacturer, the seller or vendor of your mobile phone (including
the operator) disclaim any liability which may result from the
improper use of the mobile phone.

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
1.06 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.22 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.

•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.
