Due to differentapplicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdiction maynot 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, 0.15 AOutput : 5 V, 350/400 mABattery: Lithium 500/650 mAh•RADIO WAVES:THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOREXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your cellphone is a radio transmitter and receiver.It is designed and manufactured notto exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. Theselimits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energyfor the general population.The guidelines are based on standards that were developedby independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation ofscientific studies. These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed toensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement known as theSpecific Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR limit set by public authorities such as theFederal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by IndustryCanada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.Tests for SAR are conductedusing standard operating positions with the cellphone transmitting at its highestcertified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SARlevel of the cellphone while operating can be well below the maximum value.This isbecause the cellphone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use onlythe power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wirelessbase station antenna,the lower the power output of the cellphone Before a cellphonemodel is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations andstandards must be shown.The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is:OT-223A: 1.0 W/Kg for use at the ear and 0.658 W/Kg for use close to the body.While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and atvarious positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it isused with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Useof other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.TheWorld Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific informationdoes not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. Ifindividuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's RFexposure by limiting the length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to keepcellphones away from the head and body.
