Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids.
In the event of such interference, you may wish to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Radio frequency (RF) exposure and SAR
This phone meets European Union (EU) requirements concerning
exposure to radio waves. Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter
and receiver. It is designed and manufactured to not exceed the
limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy, as recommended
by the EU Council. These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent
scientific organizations through the periodic and thorough evaluation
of scientific studies. 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 Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the
amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using
a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the highest
certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR
level of the mobile phone while it is operating can be well below this
value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to use the
minimum power required to reach the network. Variations in SAR
below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that
there are variations in safety. While there may be differences in SAR
levels among mobile phones, all mobile phone models are designed
to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines. Before a phone model
is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified by
