Safety precautions for RF exposure
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not
contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF
exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

Appendix 229
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is
far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by
international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86.
1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in usage.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of
unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone,
causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well
as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your device only
in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the antenna area unnecessarily when
placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality
and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding
contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna
performance and the battery life.
Body-worn measurements were tested for typical body-worn operations with the back
of the device kept 1.5 cm from the body.

Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety
information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when
the phone is turned ON.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn the phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer
service line to discuss alternatives.
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 the 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.
WEEE Notice
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered
into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in the
treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in
addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes
so as to reduce disposal.
