• 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 mobile phone meet with 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, 200 mA
Output: 5 V, 1A
Battery: Lithium 2000 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
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
0.82 W/Kg for use at the ear and 0.93 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/
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 “hands-free” devices to keep
mobile 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
IP5027_4020A_QG_USA_04_140821.indd 20-21 2014/8/21 10:04:55
22 23
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 and Industry
Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). 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 and Industry
Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). 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.
Your 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.
