TRAFFIC SAFETY:
Given that studies show that using a 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 phone when the vehicle is not
parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless 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.
CONDITIONS OF USE:

Your 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 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 Innovation, Science and Economic
Development Canada (ISED), is 1.6 W/kg averaged over
1 gram of body tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using
standard operating positions with the phone transmitting
at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency
bands.
This device is complied with SAR for general population/
uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as
in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.
gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJH095 (1)
or FCC ID : 2ACCJH098 (2)
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the 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 phone.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public,
compliance with national regulations and standards must
be shown.
(1) For VFD 527/528.
(2) For VFD 529.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being
disposed of in the environment, so that their components
can be reused.
In European Union countries:
These collection points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this sign must be brought to these
collection points.
In non-European Union jurisdictions:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown
into ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has
suitable recycling and collection facilities; instead they are
to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.

BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES
ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
CHARGERS:
Home A.C./Travel chargers will operate within the
temperature range of: 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).
The chargers designed for your phone meet the standard
for safety of information technology equipment and office
equipment use. Due to different applicable electrical
specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdiction
may not work in another jurisdiction. They should be used
for this purpose only.
Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):
Travel charger: Input: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 150 mA
Output: 5V, 550mA
Battery: Lithium 2000 mAh
RADIO WAVES:
THIS PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.

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 phone complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference;
• This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
Your 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 a 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
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. It is under
your own responsibility to protect your own personal data,
not to share with it with any unauthorized devices or
third party devices connected to yours. For products with
Wi-Fi features, only connect to trusted Wi-Fi networks. Also
when using your product as a hotspot (where available),
use network security. These precautions will help prevent
unauthorized access to your device. Your product can
store personal information in various locations including
a SIM card, memory card, and built-in memory. Be sure to
remove or clear all personal information before you recycle,
return, or give away your product. Choose your apps and
updates carefully, and install from trusted sources only.
Some apps can impact your product’s performance and/
or have access to private information including account
details, call data, location details and network resources.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested
is 1.21 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.30 W/Kg for use close
to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement for RF exposure.
For body-worn operation, the 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 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 phones away from
the head and body. 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.
