Due to differentapplicable electrical specifications, a charger you purchased in one jurisdictionmay 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, 150 mAOutput: 5 V, 350/400 mABattery: Lithium 500 mAh•RADIO WAVES:THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOREXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your cellphone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed andmanufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines andestablish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. Theguidelines are based on standards that were developed by independentscientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientificstudies.These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensurethe safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for cellphones employs a unit of measurement knownas the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.The SAR limit set by public authoritiessuch 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 thecellphone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequencybands.Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actualSAR level of the cellphone while operating can be well below the maximumvalue. This is because the cellphone is designed to operate at multiple powerlevels 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 poweroutput of the cellphone Before a cellphone model is available for sale to thepublic, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown.The highest SAR value for this model cellphone when tested is 1.05 W/Kg foruse at the ear and 1.15 W/Kg for use close to the body.While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphonesand at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RFexposure. For body-worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposureguidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with thehandset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensurecompliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientificinformation does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use ofcellphones.
