RF Exposure
Your phone contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and
transmits RF energy. When you communicate with your phone, the system handling
your call controls the power level at which your phone transmits.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation
ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for
this device when tested at the ear was 0.506 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a
range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as
described in this user guide**.
As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual
SAR of this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is
due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum power required to communicate with the network.
*The tests are carried out in accordance with [EN50360-2001],
[EN62209-1:2006] and [IEC 62209-2:2008(106/162/CDV)].
** Please see page 3 about body worn operation.
Body worn operation
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure.
To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the phone must be used with a
minimum of 15 mm separation from the body.
Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the
relevant guideline limits.
4
Limiting exposure to radio frequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World
Health Organisation (WHO) provides the following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need
for any special precautions for the 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.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page
http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet 193: June 2000.
Regulatory information
The declaration of RoHS compliance, EC declaration of conformity and FCC
compliance statement can be found on page 47 to page 52.
Distraction
Driving
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the risk of an
accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit) causes
distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply with local laws and
regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Operating machinery
Full attention must be given to operating the machinery in order to reduce the risk
of an accident.

Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical
devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be
maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this use the phone on the opposite
ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering
noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.
10
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance
from the interference source, increasing the separation between them may reduce the
interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Medical devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation
of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or
health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or
airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft, if
your device offers a ‘flight mode’ this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some
vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a
handsfree kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive environments

FCC Compliance Statement
Health and safety information
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio
waves.
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
accepted by the FCC with the 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 phone while operating can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested
for use at the ear is 0.661 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this
user guide, is 1.33 W/kg(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement.
50
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can be
found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on
FCC ID: Q78-VDF546.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the
positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If
you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear,
position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is
switched on.
