Using accessories not supplied or approved by Motorola may cause your mobile
device to exceed RF energy exposure guidelines. For a list of Motorola-supplied
or approved accessories, visit our Web site at: www.motorola.com.
RF Energy Interference/Compatibility
Nearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external
sources if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for RF energy
compatibility. In some circumstances, your mobile device may cause interference
with other devices.
Follow Instructions to Avoid Interference Problems
Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices instruct you to
do so.
In an aeroplane, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline
staff. If your mobile device offers an aeroplane mode or similar feature, consult
airline staff about using it in flight.
Implantable Medical Devices
If you have an implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator,
consult your doctor before using this mobile device.
Persons with implantable medical devices should observe the following
precautions:
•
ALWAYS keep the mobile device more than 20 centimetres (8 inches) from the
implantable medical device when the mobile device is turned ON.
•
DO NOT carry the mobile device in the breast pocket.
•
Use the ear opposite the implantable medical device to minimise the potential for
interference.
•
Turn OFF the mobile device immediately if you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.
Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of your implantable medical
device. If you have any questions about using your mobile device with your
implantable medical device, consult your GP.
Specific Absorption Rate (ICNIRP)
SAR (ICNIRP)
Your model wireless phone meets international
guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to not 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 assure the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in
measurements.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate
(SAR). The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices used by the general public is
2 watts per kilogram (W/kg), and the highest SAR value for this mobile device when
tested at the ear is 0.996 W/kg. As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they
can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this guide. In
this case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.811 W/kg. The tests are carried out in
accordance with international guidelines for testing. The SAR information includes
the Motorola testing protocol, assessment procedure and measurement
uncertainty range for this product.
As SAR is measured utilising the mobile device’s highest transmitting power, the
actual SAR of this mobile device while operating is typically below that indicated
above. This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the mobile device to
ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the network.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various mobile devices
and at various positions, they meet the governmental requirements for safe
exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause
differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed
to be within the guidelines.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does
not indicate the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices.
They note that if you want to reduce your exposure, then you can do so by limiting
the length of calls or using a handsfree device to keep the mobile device away from
the head and body.
