Safety and use ............................
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your cellphone. 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 cellphone 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 cellphone when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of
wireless telephones 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 cellphone 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 cellphone 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 cellphone 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 cellphone RF energy.
•CONDITIONS OF USE:
You are advised to switch off the cellphone from time to time to optimize its performance.
Switch the cellphone off before boarding an aircraft to avoid prosecution.
Switch the cellphone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated areas. As with
many other types of equipment now in regular use, cellphones can interfere with other electrical
or electronic devices, or equipment using radio frequency.
Switch the cellphone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey all signs and
instructions posted in a fuel depot, gas station, or chemical plant, or in any potentially explosive
atmosphere.
When the cellphone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical device such
as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump. In particular when using the cellphone you should
hold it against the ear on the opposite side to the device, if any.
To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your cellphone to your ear. Also
move the handset away from your ear while using the “hands-free” option because the amplified
volume might cause hearing damage.
Do not let small children use your cellphone without supervision.
When replacing the cover please note that your cellphone may contain substances that could
create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your cellphone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.
Do not allow your cellphone to be exposed to adverse weather or environmental conditions
(moisture, humidity, rain, infiltration of liquids, dust, sea air, etc.). The manufacturer’s
recommended operating temperature range is -10°C to +55°C (the max value depends on device,
materials and housing paint/texture). Over 55°C the legibility of the cellphone’s display may be
impaired, though this is temporary and not serious.

•RADIO WAVES:
THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO WAVES.
Your cellphone 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 cellphones 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 cellphone 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
cellphone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the cellphone 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 cellphone Before a cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliance
with national regulations and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is 1.19 W/Kg for use at the ear and
1.4 W/Kg for use close to the body.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and at various
positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation,
the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic
accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not
indicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. 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 cellphones 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:
