Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the M330 dual
band mobile telephone. The mobile tele-
phone described in this guide is approved
for use on all GSM 900/1800 networks.
Some of the messages displayed on your
mobile may be different according to your
subscription type and/or service provider.
As with all types of radio transceivers this
mobile telephone emits electromagnetic
waves and complies with international
regulations when it is used under normal
conditions and in accordance with the
safety and warning messages given below.
SAR
THIS M330 PHONE MEETS THE EU RE-
QUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO
WAVES.
Before a mobile phone is available for sale
to the public, compliance with the Europe-
an R&TTE directive (1999/5/CE) must be
shown. This directive includes as one es-
sential requirement the protection of the
health and the safety for the user and any
other person.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and manufac-
tured not to exceed the limits for exposure
to radiofrequency (RF) energy recom-
mended by The Council of the European
Union
1
. These limits are part of compre-
hensive guidelines and establish permitted
levels of RF energy for the general popula-
tion. The guidelines were developed by in-
dependent scientific organisations
through periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. The limits include a
substantial safety margin designed to as-
sure the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones
(CENELEC standard EN 50360: 2000) em-
ploys a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit
2
recommended by The Council of the
European Union is 2.0 W/kg. Tests for SAR
have been conducted using standard op-
erating positions (with reference to
CENELEC standard EN 50361: 2000) with
the phone transmitting at its highest certi-
fied power level in all tested frequency
bands
3
. Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certified power level, the ac-
tual SAR level of the phone while operat-
ing can well be below the maximum value.
This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to
a base station antenna, the lower the
power output.
The highest SAR value for this M330 mod-
el when tested for compliance against the
standard was 0.xxxW/kg. While there may
be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the EU requirements for RF
exposure.

Health Organization (WHO)
Individuals:
Present scientific information
does not indicate the need for any special
precautions for use of mobile phones. If
individuals are concerned, they might
choose to limit their own or their chil-
dren’s’ RF exposure by limiting the length
of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to
keep mobile phones away from the head
and body.
RF absorbing devices:
Scientific evidence
does not indicate any need for RF-absorb-
ing covers or other "absorbing devices" on
mobile phones. They cannot be justified
on health grounds and the effectiveness of
many such devices in reducing RF expo-
sure is unproven.

European recommendation 1999/519/CE
2. The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged
over ten grams of tissue. The limit incorpora-
tes a substantial margin of safety to give
additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in measurements.
3. The maximum level of GSM emitted power is
250mW at 900 MHz and 125 mW at
1800MHz according to the GSM standard.
