chemicals.
Switching off in an aircraft
Wireless phones can cause interference. Using them in an aircraft is both
illegal and dangerous.
Switching off near all medical equipment
Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy. Follow any regulations or rules in force.
Interference
All wireless phones may be subject to interference, which could affect their
performance.
Special regulations
Follow any special regulations in force in any area and always switch off
your phone whenever it is forbidden to use it.
Water resistance
Your phone is not water-resistant. Keep it dry.

Risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
At very high volume, prolonged listening to a headset can damage

CAUTION
SAR information
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards that were
developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and
through evaluation of scientific studies.
The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless phones employs a unit of
measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set
by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg
*
.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC are GSM 850 Head:
0.902
W/kg, Body-worn:
0.607
W/kg
and GSM 1900 Head:
1.08
W/kg, Body-worn:
0.403
W/kg.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/
kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in measurements.
