User's Manual

5
European Directive 2014/53/EU (RED) is required of all phone
models before they can be put on the market. The protection of the
health and safety for the user and any other person is an essential
requirement of these standards or this directive.
THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not
to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency
electromagnetic fields) recommended by international guidelines. The
guidelines were developed by an independent scientific organisation
(ICNIRP) and include a substantial safety margin designed to assure
the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The radio wave exposure guidelines use a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for
mobile devices is 2 W/kg for Head SAR and Body-worn SAR.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. The highest SAR values under the ICNIRP
guidelines for this device model are:
Maximum SAR for this model and conditions under which it
was recorded
Head SAR (5 mm) GSM 900 1.01 W/kg
Body-worn SAR (5 mm) GSM 900 1.70 W/kg
During use, the actual SAR values for this phone are usually well
below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of
system efficiency and to minimise interference on the network, the
operating power of your phone is automatically decreased when full
power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the
phone, the lower its SAR value.
Body-worn SAR testing has been carried out at a separation distance
of 5 mm. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn
operation, the phone should be positioned at least this distance
away from the body.
If you are not using an approved accessory ensure that whatever
product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the phone
the indicated distance away from the body.
Organisations such as the World Health Organisation and the
US Food and Drug Administration have stated that if people are
concerned and want to reduce their exposure they could use a
hands-free device to keep the phone away from the head and
body during phone calls, or reduce the amount of time spent on
the phone.
