Technical features
Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.
Electrical safety:
Only use those chargers listed in the manufacturer’s catalogue. Using any other charger may be dangerous; it would also
invalidate your warranty. Line voltage must be the same as that indicated on the charger’s serial plate.
Aircraft safety:
You must switch off your phone on aeroplanes when so instructed either by cabin crew or by signs. Mobile phone use may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft and may disrupt the phone network.
Explosive materials:
Please comply with signs at petrol stations telling you to switch off your phone. You must also observe radio equipment usage
restrictions in chemical plants, fuel depots and at any location where blasting operations are under way.
Electronic medical equipment:
Your phone is a radio transmitter which may interfere with electronic medical equipment such as hearing aids, pacemakers, etc.
Your doctor or the manufacturers of such equipment will be able to give you any advice you may need in this area. Always make
sure that your phone is switched off in hospitals when so instructed by signs or by medical staff.
Road safety:
Except in emergencies, do not use your phone when driving unless you have a hands-free kit enabling you to manoeuvre freely.
In order to give your full attention to driving, stop and park safely before making a call. You must comply with any current
legislation.
This mobile phone complies with European requirements governing exposure to radio waves.
Your phone is a transmitter/receiver. It has been designed and manufactured to comply with radiofrequency energy exposure
limits recommended by the Council of the European Union and the ICNIRP for the entire population. These limits were
established by independent scientific agencies on the basis of in-depth and regular evaluations of scientific studies. The limits
include a large safety margin that is intended to guarantee the safety of all, irrespective of age or state of health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones uses a unit of measure called the SAR, or Specific Absorption Ratio. The SAR limit
recommended by the Council of the European Union and the ICNIRP is 2 W/kg*. Tests were conducted on a standardised usage
position basis, with the phone transmitting at its maximum level certified in all its frequency bands. Although the standardised
measurement is done at maximum power, the real SAR of the phone in use is generally very far below the maximum value. The
phone was designed to operate at the power level strictly necessary to ensure communication with the network. In general, the
closer you are to a base station, the lower the power at which the phone will transmit.
Validation of conformity with European directive 1999/5 (directive R&TTE) is a pre-requisite for introducing any model of phone
onto the market. Protection of health and the safety of the public and the user are a vital requirement of this directive.
This model's maximum SAR value measured in the conformity test is 0.64 W/kg.
Although differences may exist from one phone to the other and depending on position, all comply with European regulations.
In the countries that have adopted the SAR limit recommended by FCC (USA, Taiwan…), the limit is 1.6 watt/kilogram (W/kg)
averaged over one gram of tissue.
The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for compliance against the standard was 1.2 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
requirements for RF exposure.
