SAR measurement EU: GSM900: 0.79 W/Kg; DCS1800: 0.369 W/Kg. USA: PCS1900:0.71 W/Kg (head); 0.46 W/Kg (body). Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the updated ANSI Standard. The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally. Specific operating restrictions No metallic component allowed in body-worn accessories. Phone operation • Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would with any other telephone.
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects.

If you have any reason to suspect that the interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately. Hearing aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.
Aircraft FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft. Blasting areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a “blasting area” or in area posted “TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO.” Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Permanent hearing loss may occur if you use ear- or headphones at high volume. You can adapt over time to a higher volume, which may sound normal but can be damaging to your hearing. Set your volume to a safe level. If you experience ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use of your system. Dispose of unwanted batteries and phones as permitted by the laws in your countries.
