Advice for limiting exposure to radiofrequency (RF) fields
For individuals concerned about limiting their exposure to RF fields, the World Health Organization (WHO) provides the
following advice:
Precautionary measures: Present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for the 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.
Further information on this subject can be obtained from the WHO home page http://www.who.int/peh-emf WHO Fact sheet

WLAN/Wi-Fi
Some legislation (including French legislation) imposes restrictions concerning the use of wireless LANs. For more
information, contact the local authorities.
Radio frequency bands authorized for IEEE 802.11 b/g Wireless transmission depend on national regulations. When your
Sagem device is connected to a Wi-Fi access point, it is this access point which defines the utilization frequency ranges of
your device.
In France, current regulations defined by ARCEP indicate that, for a maximum transmission power of 100 mW inside a
building, the 2400 – 2483.5 MHz (channels 1 to 13) frequency bands are authorized throughout mainland France. Outside,
the transmission is limited to 100 mW for the 2400 - 2454 MHz frequency bands and 10 mW for the 2454 – 2483.5 MHz
frequency bands.
Sagem Wireless declines all responsibility if the access point does not comply with the prevailing legislation. Refer to the
unit’s operating manual for more details.
Safety
Never attempt to disassemble your phone. You alone are responsible for how you use your phone and any consequences of
its use.
As a general rule, always switch off your phone wherever the use of a phone is prohibited.
Use of your phone is subject to safety measures designed to protect users and their environment.
Do not use your phone in damp areas (bathroom, swimming pool…). Protect it from liquids and other moisture.
Do not expose your phone to extreme temperatures lower than - 10°C and higher than + 55°C.
