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.

Output: 5.0 V, 550 mA
Battery:
Lithium 1500 mAh
• 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 radiofrequency (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
0.70 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.02 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.phonefacts.net
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 “handsfree” 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. 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.
