Safety Information
Welcome to Opel Mobile and thanks for purchasing our products. For the best performance, we
recommend you read this manual carefully, especially the "safety instructions". This will take you
a couple of minutes, but it will save you time later and will allow you to enjoy all the features on
your device.
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The
SAR limit for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at
the ear was 1.089 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 user guide**. In this case, the highest tested
SAR value is 1.518 W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices highest transmitting power the actual SAR of this
device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes
to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to reach the
network.
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 ‘hands-free’
device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.
