Product Safety Information

RF Exposure

General Statement on RF energy

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 ensure 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 0.543 W/kg(1). 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.

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 10 mm separation from the body.

Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the

relevant guideline limits.

"The highest SAR value for this mobile phone when tested for use at the body and

compliance against the standard is 0.757 W/kg. While there may be differences between

the SAR levels on various phones and at various positions, they all meet the relevant

International guidelines and EU requirements for RF (radio-waves) exposure"

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.

(1) The tests are carried out in accordance with IEC standard PT62209-1.

Interference

General statement on 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 interference noises

when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. 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.
