information about radio interference

The radio frequency emitted by your device may interfere with some 

hearing aids. Before using your device, contact the manufacturer to 

determine whether or not your hearing aid will be affected by radio 

frequencies emitted by the device.

Turn off the device in potentially explosive environments

Turn off your device in potentially explosive environments instead of  

• 

removing the battery.

Always comply with regulations, instructions and signs in potentially 

• 

explosive environments.

Do not use your device at refuelling points (petrol stations), near 

• 

fuels or chemicals, or in blasting areas.

Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive 

• 

materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or 

accessories.

Ensure maximum battery and charger life

Avoid charging your device for more than a week, as overcharging 

• 

may shorten battery life.

Over time, unused device will discharge and must be recharged 

• 

before use.

Disconnect the charger from power sources when not in use.

• 

Use the battery only for their intended purposes.

• 

Use manufacturer-approved batteries, chargers, accessories,

Doing so may cause suffocation or serious injuries.

When using the device:

Hold the device upright, as you would with a traditional phone.

• 

Speak directly into the microphone.

• 

Do not touch the device’s internal antenna. Doing so may result in 

• 

reduced call quality or cause the device to emit unintended levels of 

radio frequency (RF) energy.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions 

with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all 

tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP 

guidelines for this device model are:

Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it 

was recorded
Head SAR

0.925 W/kg

Body-worn SAR

0.365 W/kg

During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well 

below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of 

system efficiency and to minimise interference on the network, the 

operating power of your mobile device is automatically decreased 

when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output 

of the device, the lower its SAR value.

A body-worn SAR test has been performed on this device at a 

separation distance of 1.5 cm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during 

body-worn operation, the device must be positioned at least 1.5 cm 

away from the body.

Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the US 

Food and Drug Administration have suggested that if people are 

concerned and want to reduce their exposure, they could use a 

hands-free accessory to keep the wireless device away from the 

head and body during use, or reduce the amount of time spent using 

the device.
