Chapter 13. Safety Bit
This chapter contains important information on safe and efficient operation. Please read this
information before using your O
2
Xda Stealth.
13.1 Safety information
Your O
2
Xda Stealth Pocket PC Phone has been designed, manufactured and tested so as not to
exceed the limits for exposure to electromagnetic
fi
elds recommended by the Council of the European
Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines developed by independent scientific
organizations.
European standards provide for the amount of radio frequency electromagnetic energy absorbed by
the body when using a phone to be measured by reference to the Speci
fi
c Absorption Rate (SAR).
The highest SAR value for your O
2
Xda Stealth when tested for use at the ear is 0.626 W/kg.
The maximum SAR values for the O
2
Xda Stealth are:
• 0.436 W/kg @10g (CE)
• 0.224 W/kg @1g (FCC) head
• 0.786W/kg @1g (FCC) body
13.2 Phone care
You should never attempt to open the phone casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, and
you might damage sensitive electronic circuits and components.
Un-authorized disassembly will void the warranty. You should never leave your device in the window
of your car or otherwise expose it to strong sunlight or excessive heat for a prolonged period of time
as this may damage it. You should never handle your device with wet hands or expose it to moisture or
liquids of any kind. Continuous changes from a cold to a warm environment may lead to condensation
inside the device, resulting in corrosion and possible damage. If you pack your device in your suitcase
during travel, beware not to damage it. Cramming a suitcase may crack the LCD display. While
in flight, switch your O
2
Xda Stealth to flight mode. (Turn off device or wireless functions). When
instructed to do so, turn off your device when on board an aircraft. As with all other radio devices,
touching the built-in antenna area during telephone conversation may impair the quality and lead to
shorter standby time due to increased power consumption.
The battery
Your device is equipped with a high performance Li-Ion battery. Optional battery types may be
available, check with your local retailer. Observe the maintenance guidelines and your battery should
give you a long service life.
