Important safety information
Retain and follow all product safety and operating instructions. Observe all
warnings on the product and in the operating instructions.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electric shock, fire, and damage to the
equipment, observe the following precautions.
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.
Exposure to radio frequency (RF) signals
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. 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.
Normal conditions only ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. 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.
