DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.• CHARGERSHome 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, 0.15 A Output: 5 V, 1000 mABattery: LI-Polymer 2500 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.
30 31The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is 1.170 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.134 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.
