9. Additional safety instructions
Local laws and regulations
Take into account possible special laws and regulations
that might apply to the place in which you use your
smartphone.
Volume
To prevent hearing impairment, make sure to keep the
volume of earphones to a responsible level.
Pacemakers
People carrying a pacemaker need to follow these
instructions:
• When the phone is switched on, always maintain
a distance of at least 15 cm from the pacemaker.
• Never carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• When making calls, hold the phone to your right
ear (opposite the pacemaker).
Hearing aid devices
Your phone may cause interference with certain
hearing aid devices. If this is the case, please contact
the manufacturer of the hearing device.
Precautions for using your battery and charger
The battery charge depends on the network you use,
the phone settings and the environment in which the
phone is used. The battery is generally good for over 2-
ETHOS – Quick Start Guide
41
4 hours of calling time, whilst standby time usually lasts
from 24-72 hours.
Prior to removing the battery, make sure the phone is
switched off and not connected to a battery charger.
Under no circumstance use a charger or battery that is
damaged in any way.
When using the phone in the vicinity of a base-station
of a network, power usage will decrease. The battery
time in which a device can remain in standby mode or
be operational for calling is strongly affected by the
strength of the signal of the mobile network.
Charging time depends on the remaining battery power,
the type of battery and the charger used for charging
the battery. A battery may be charged and discharged
hundreds of time, but it will become worn out over
time. Obtain a new battery as soon as you notice a
decrease in standby or calling times.
Unplug the charger when it is not being used. Do not
leave the smartphone attached to the charger for a
period exceeding 48 hours straight. Overcharging may
drastically decrease battery life. Even when unused, a
fully charged battery will slowly get depleted.
Make sure both the positive battery pole (+) as well as
the negative battery pole (-) connect with the contacts
in the smartphone when installing the battery.
ETHOS – Quick Start Guide
42
Do not short-circuit the battery. Unexpected short
circuitry may occur when a metal object, such as a coin,
clamp, or pen makes a direct connection between the
positive pole (+) and the negative pole (-) of the battery
(the poles are the copper strips on the battery).
Do not put discarded batteries in fire. Dispose of
batteries according to local law. Do not dispose
batteries with the regular household waste.
In case your phone, battery or charger gets wet, do not
attempt to dry it in a heating device, such as a dryer or
a microwave oven. Doing so, may cause burn wounds
or lead to swelling or even explosion of the phone,
battery, charger, or the heating device used.
Contact your nearest service centre to get help when
your phone, battery or charger does not function
properly.
>Please note: MI hereby declares to repudiate all
responsibility for any direct or collateral damage that
results from failure to comply to one or more of the
instructions above or incorrectly executed procedures.

10. Safety information regarding
radiation
MI mobile phones meet the requirements for the FCC
marking, also with regard to radiation. Your MI
smartphone is equipped with multiple senders and
receivers (GSM/UMTS/WiFi). The design of your device
is such, that it meets FCC-requirements.
Radio waves influence the human body, they are
absorbed within the body and converted to warmth.
SAR values express the extent to which this takes place.
SAR is the acronym for Specific Absorption Rate.
In order to obtain the most objective frame of SAR
values, different means of measuring are employed.
The object is to determine the amount of Watts that
are absorbed per Kg of body mass, averaged over 10
grams of body-tissue. The CE-marking requires this
value to not exceed 2.0 W/Kg.
Testing for SAR-values is performed under the
following conditions:
• At the highest permitted level of transmitter
power output that the equipped sender is
capable to transmit on the various frequencies.
• At the least favorable circumstances possible in
everyday normal use, for example when the
device is held close to the head.
ETHOS – Quick Start Guide
44
Your device was designed to use only the power
necessary to remain in contact with the network. Since
SAR-test protocol regulations require testing and
measuring SAR-values at maximum transmitter power
output, the actual amount of radiation will be lower
than the SAR-value that this device is specified with.
This value is strongly influenced by the network
reception on your location.
To obtain the SAR-value of your device, please consult
our website www.mobile-initiative.com.

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION:
WARNING!! Read this information before using your
phone
In August 1986 the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in
Report and Outer FCC 96-326 adopted an updated
safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency
(RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated
transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the
safety standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies. The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards. Use only the supplied or an
approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC
regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with
the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your
local dealer for replacement antenna.
BODY-WORN OPERATION:
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations
with the back/front of the phone kept 5mm from the
body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a
minimum separation distance of 5mm must be
maintained between the user's body and the
back/front of the phone, including the antenna. Third-
party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories
containing metallic components shall not be used.
Body-worn accessories
that cannot maintain 5mm separation distance
between the user’s body and the back/front of the
10mm
10mm
10mm
phone, and have not been tested for typical body-worn
operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits
and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit
the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low
power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications
Commissions (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines
with safety levels for hand-held wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
<ANSIC95.1> (1992) / <NCRP Report 86> (1986) /
<ICNIRP> (1999)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and
periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature.
For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health
agencies, and industry reviewed the available body of
research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
Nevertheless, we recommend that you use a hands-
free kit with your phone (such as an earpiece or
headset) to avoid potential exposure to RF energy. The
design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines
(and those standards).
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the phone and may violate
FCC regulations.
NORMAL POSITION:
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with
the antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
