Important safety measures
Your phone is designed to comply with all the necessary precautions and
requirements and should be treated with care. The suggested safety measures
will help you to use this product without causing you any health hazard.
When buying a cell phone, make sure it has a low SAR (Specific Absorption
Rate).
Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a low power
Bluetooth emitter.
Either keep calls short or send a SMS instead. This advice applies especially
to children adolescents and pregnant women.
Whenever possible, only use cell phone when the signal quality is good
People having active medical implants should keep their cell phone at least
15cm away from the implant
The FCC advice: “Many people mistakenly assume that using a cell phone
with a lower reported SAR value necessarily decreases a user‟s exposure to RF
emissions, or is somehow “safer” than using a cell phone with a high SAR value.
While SAR values are an important tool in judging the maximum possible
exposure to RF energy from a particular model of cell phone, a single SAR value
does not provide sufficient information about the amount of RF exposure under
typical usage conditions to reliably compare individual cell phone models.”
World Health Organization (WHO) Advice: Organizations such as the World
Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration have stated that if
people are concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a
hands-free device to keep the phone away from the head and body during
phone calls, or reduce the amount of time spent on the phone.

V. SAR
Your phone meets the SAR requirements for exposure to radio waves,
recommended by Govt. of India. Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured so as not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy, as recommended by the Govt. of India.
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as SAR (Specific Absorption Rate). The SAR limit recommended by the
Govt. Of India is 1.6 Watt/kg taken over a volume containing a mass of 1 gram
of issue. The highest SAR value for V1516 is
1.240
W/Kg. Press *#07# to check
the SAR value on your phone display.
