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, 500 mA Battery:  Lithium 750 mAh• RADIO WAVES:THIS  CELLPHONE  MEETS  THE  GOVERNMENT’S  REQUIREMENTS  FOR  EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your cellphone 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  cellphones  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 cellphone 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 cellphone  while  operating  can  be  well  below  the  maximum  value.  This  is because the cellphone 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 cellphone Before a cellphone model is  available  for  sale  to  the public,  compliance  with  national  regulations  and standards must be shown.The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is 1.16 W/Kg for use at the ear and 1.13 W/Kg for use close to the body.While  there  may be  differences  between  the  SAR  levels  of  various  cellphones  and  at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. 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 cellphones 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. Note: 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.
