170 Safety Precautions and Conditions of Use
PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING
VEHICLE USE
• It is the user’s responsibility to check the local laws
governing the use of a mobile phone in vehicles. Pay
full attention to driving. Pull off to the side of the
road, park the car, and switch off the engine before
making or answering a call.
• Use of your phone’s function may interfere with the
vehicle’s electronic systems, such as the ABS anti-
lock brakes or the air-bag. To ensure no such problem
occurs, please check with your dealer or car
manufacturer before connecting your phone.
• Only allow qualified service maintenance personnel
to install the vehicle accessories.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage
which may result as a consequence of improper use or
use contrary to the instructions contained herein.
SAR
Your Sharp mobile phone has been designed,
manufactured and tested so as not to exceed the general
public RF exposure limits specified in the New Zealand
Radiofrequency Fields Standard NZS 2772.1, the
Australian Communications Authority
Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation-
Human Exposure) Standard and the Australian
Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency
(ARPANSA) Standard. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines developed by independent
scientific organisations. The guidelines include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety
of the phone user and others and to take into account
variations in age and health, individual sensitivities and
environmental conditions. The exposure standards
provide for the amount of radio frequency
electromagnetic energy absorbed by the body when
using a mobile phone to be measured by reference to
the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR).
The SAR limit for the general public is currently 2.0
watts per kilogram averaged over 10 gram tissue. Your
Sharp mobile phone SAR value is 0.377 watts per
kilogram. This has been tested to ensure that this limit
is not exceeded even when the phone is operating at its
highest certified power. In use however your Sharp
mobile phone may operate at less than full power
because it is designed to use only sufficient power to
communicate with the network.
