DISPOSE  OF  USED  BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS• CHARGERSHome  A.C./  Travel  chargers  will  operate  within  the  temperature range of: 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).The  chargers  designed  for  your  mobile  phone  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.Characteristics of power supply (depending on the country):Travel charger: Input: 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz, 150 mA                    Output: 5 V,  1000 mABattery: LI-Polymer 2150 mAh• RADIO WAVES:THIS  MOBILE  PHONE  MEETS  THE  GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.Your mobile phone 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  phones  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 mobile phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
30 31Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the  actual  SAR  level  of  the  mobile  phone  while  operating  can  be well below the maximum value. This is because the mobile phone 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 phone.Before  a  mobile  phone  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 phone when tested is 0.82 W/kg for use at the ear and 1.44 W/kg for use close to the body.While there  may be differences between the SAR  levels of various mobile phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure. For body-worn operation, the mobile phone  meets FCC  RF  exposure  guidelines provided  that  it is  used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 10 mm from 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.ctia.org/The  World  Health  Organization  (WHO)  considers  that  present scientific  information  does  not  indicate  the  need  for  any  special precautions for  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. (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.  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 phone 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 phone at least 10 mm away from the body.
