Appendix • RF Exposure Information (SAR) • Notices • Safety information • Contact information 163
RF Exposure Information (SAR) THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
Additional Information can be found on the websites of the World Health Organization (http://www.who.int/emf). * The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing. The limit incorporates a substantial margin for safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. Additional related information includes the ASUS testing protocol, assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.
RF Exposure Information (FCC SAR) This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Notices Replaceable batteries If an equipment is provided with a replaceable battery and if replacement by an incorrect type could result in an explosion (such as with some lithium batteries), the following applies: – The battery is placed in an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA, there shall be a marking close to the battery or a statement in both the operating and the servicing instructions; – If the battery is placed elsewhere in the equipment, there shall be a marking close to the battery or a statement in the servic
Operator access with a tool If a TOOL is necessary to gain access to an OPERATOR ACCESS AREA, either all other compartments within that area containing a hazard shall be inaccessible to the OPERATOR by the use of the same TOOL, or such compartments shall be marked to discourage OPERATOR access. An acceptable marking for an electric shock hazard is (ISO 3864, No. 5036).
ASUS Address: 15 Li-Te Road, Peitou, Taipei, Taiwan Tel: 886-2-2894-3447; Fax: 886-2-2890-7698 Declaration We declare that the IMEI codes for this product, P550, are unique to each unit and only assigned to this model. The IMEI of each unit is factory set and cannot be altered by the user and that it complies with the relevant IMEI integrity related requirements expressed in the GSM standards. Should you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please have our best attention.
Safety Information Phone care You should never attempt to open the phone casing. There are no user-serviceable parts inside and you might damage sensitive electronic circuits and components. Unauthorized disassembly will void the warranty. You should never leave your phone in the window of your car or otherwise expose it to strong sunlight or excessive heat for a prolonged period. This may damage it. You should never handle your phone with wet hands or expose it to moisture or liquids of any kind.
• Use only the battery approved by the manufacturer. • Never replace the battery with a non-approved battery. • Never soak the battery in water or any other fluid. • Never try to open the battery as it contains substances that might be harmful if swallowed or allowed to come into contact with unprotected skin. • Never short-circuit the battery, as it may overheat and cause a fire. Keep it away from jewellery and other metal objects. • Never dispose of the battery in a fire.
Cleaning and storing • Your device should always be handled with care and protected from dirt, dust and dampness. To avoid scratches, never place your phone face down. • If cleaning is necessary, switch off the device and wipe carefully with a soft, slightly damp (not wet) cloth. Use a cotton swab to clean the camera lens. Allow the phone to dry completely before switching it on. Never use solvents for cleaning.
Electronic devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your device. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches be maintained between a phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
Vehicles RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment added to your vehicle. Posted facilities Turn off your device where posted notices so require. Magnetic media Magnetic fields generated by Pocket PC Phone phones may damage data on magnetic storage media, such as credit cards, computer discs or tapes.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive environment are often, but not always, clearly marked.
