SAR information

Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and

manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency

(RF) energy set by the European Union (EU) Council. 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 that were

developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and through

evaluation of scientific studies.

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 phones employs a unit of measurement known

as Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set by the EU Council is 2.0 W/kg.

The highest SAR value for this model phone was 0.858W/kg.

Risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type.

Dispose used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

At very high volume, prolonged listening to a headset can damage your

hearing.
