SECTION 19: HEALTH AND SAFETY
RF/SAR information
Your desk phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. When switching ON, your phone sends out low-level radio-frequency (RF).
Country governments all over the world adopt state security guidelines developed by independent scientific organisations such as
ICNIRP and IEEE. These guidelines establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines include a
substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. SAR is the unit of measurement for
absorbed radio quantity when using mobile devices. SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions with the phone
transmitting at its highest certified power level, however, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the
maximum value. In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power output of the phone. The SAR values may vary,
depending on different models of phones. To ensure the safety and health of the users, the phone is designed and manufactured to meet
the radio exposure guidelines. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobiles devices used by the general public is 2W/kg and highest SAR value
for this device is tested for use at the ear is below the SAR limit recommended by ICNIRP. WCDMA Band I front side, middle 10g value:
1.04W/kg.
Batteries
Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any way. Use the battery correctly. Do not short-circuit the battery, as this may
damage it, cause it to heat up or create a fire. Do not dispose of batteries by burning them as they may explode. Return the waste
battery to the dealer or an appointed recycle centre. Do not dispose as household waste.
Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge, the type of battery, and the charger used. The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to
replace the battery with a new one. Use only original or approved chargers and batteries.
Unplug the charger, from the electrical socket and the device, when not in use. Do not leave on charge permanently, as this will damage
the battery and shorten its life. Leaving the battery in extreme hot or cold places will also reduce the capacity of the battery. Cool down
or heat up the temperature to the normal level (Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures below 0°C).
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in the area you are located, and always switch OFF your phone whenever it is
forbidden to use it, or it may create a hazard. When connecting the phone or any accessory to another device, read its User’s Guide for
detailed safety instructions. Do not connect incompatible products. It is recommended that the equipment should only be used in the
normal operating position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over your shoulder) for your satisfactory operation of the
equipment and for the safety of others. Recommended charging temperature is 25°C. Do not expose the equipment below 10°C or above
40°C. Keep the phone in an appropriate holder while you are driving. Do not put it on a seat or location where it could fall. To ensure
safey and avoid accidents, do NOT use the phone while driving.
