Safety Information For your safety, please read the guidelines below carefully before you use your phone: Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals Max. SAR measurement EU: GSM900: 0.52 mW/g; DCS1800: 0.28 mW/g. USA: PCS1900: 0.417 mW/g (head); 1.06 mW/g (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.
The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally. For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the Z2 accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. Antenna Care Use only the supplied or approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments may damage the phone and violate FCC regulations.
Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please: • Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your first responsibility. • Use hands-free operation, if available. • Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
