1 2Safety and use ......................We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your mobile phone. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.• 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 headset to listen to music or to the radio. Using a headset 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.US_English - CQF2971ALAAASafety and warranty informationwww.sar-tick.comThis product meets applicable national SAR limits of 1.6 W/kg. The specific maximum SAR values can be found in the RADIOWAVES section of this user guide.When carrying the product or using it while worn on your body, either use an approved accessory such as a holster or otherwise maintain a distance of 10 mm from the body to ensure compliance with RF exposure requirements. Note that the product may be transmitting even if you are not making a phone call.PROTECT YOUR HEARING To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

7 8The 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. The 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.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 0.76 W/kg for use at the ear and 1.08 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/
9 10Your 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.Please note by using the device some of your personal data may be shared with the main device.
