They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that their components can be reused.
3029In European Union countries:These collection points are accessible free of charge. All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points.In non-European Union jurisdictions:Items of equipment with this symbol are not be thrown into ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling and collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled.In the United States you may learn more about CTIA’s Recycling Program at http://www.recyclewirelessphones.comCAUTION: IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE, DEVICE MIGHT EXPLODE. DISPOSE USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTION.ChargersHome A.C./ Travel chargers will operate within the temperature range of: 0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F).The chargers designed for your mobile device 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.The charger shall be installed near the device and shall be easily accessible.Travel charger: 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 150mA Output: 5.0 V, 550mA Radio WavesTHIS MOBILE DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your mobile device 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 devices 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
3231standard operating positions with the mobile device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of HYPERLINK “http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid” www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:2ACCJBT01.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the mobile device 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 device. Before a mobile device 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 device when tested is1.47 W/Kg for use close to the body.While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the device has been tested when positioned a minimum of 0 mm from the body without any metal parts in the vicinity of the device or when properly used with an appropriate accessory and worn on 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.phonefacts.netThe World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of mobile devices. 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 devices away from the head and body. (fact sheet n°193). Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf.
3433Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the 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. 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. 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 device 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 device at least 0 mm away from the body.
