Safety and use �����������������������������������
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your phone. 
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a 
consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained 
herein.
• TRAFFIC SAFETY:Given that studies show that using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle 
constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset���), 
drivers are requested to refrain from using their mobile when the vehicle is 
not parked�
When driving, do not use your phone and headphone to listen to music or to 
the radio. Using a headphone can be dangerous and forbidden in some areas.
When switched on, your phone emits electromagnetic waves that can interfere 
with the vehicle’s electronic systems such as ABS anti-lock brakes or airbags. To 
ensure that there is no problem:
-   do not place your phone on top of the dashboard or within an airbag 
deployment area,
-    check with your car dealer or the car manufacturer to make sure that the 
dashboard is adequately shielded from mobile phone RF energy.
•  CONDITIONS OF USE:You are advised to switch off the telephone from time to time to optimize its 
performance.
Switch the phone off before boarding an aircraft.
Switch the phone off when you are in health care facilities, except in designated 
areas. As with many other types of equipment now in regular use, mobile 
telephones can interfere with other electrical or electronic devices, or equipment 
using radio frequency.
Switch the phone off when you are near gas or flammable liquids. Strictly obey 
all signs and instructions posted in a fuel depot, petrol station, or chemical plant, 
or in any potentially explosive atmosphere.
When the phone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any 
medical device such as a pacemaker, a hearing aid or insulin pump, etc. In 
particular, when using the phone, you should hold it against the ear on the 
opposite side to the device, if any.  
						

							5
To avoid hearing impairment, pick up the call before holding your phone to your 
ear. Also, move the handset away from your ear while using the "hands-free" 
mode because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.

• RADIO WAVES:THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR 
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile 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 standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations 
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines 
include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, 
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known 
as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities 
such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), 
or by Industry Canada, is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue. Tests 
for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the mobile phone 
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
This device complies with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure 
limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the 
measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1725.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with 
all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure 
guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and 
can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after 
searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJN008.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual 
SAR level of the mobile phone while operating can be well below the maximum 
value. This is because the mobile phone is designed to operate at multiple power 
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the 
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of 
the mobile phone. Before a mobile phone model is available for sale to the public, 
compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value for this model mobile phone when tested is 1.16 W/Kg 
for use at the ear and 1.16 W/Kg for use close to the body. 
						

							9
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and 
at various positions, they all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 
10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm 
away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the 
reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, 
which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 15 mm
(2)
between this device and your body. 
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, 
was not tested and certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be 
avoided.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications 
& Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific 
information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of 
mobile phones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own 
or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using “hands-
free” devices to keep mobile phones away from the head and body. Additional 
WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available 
on the following website: http://www.who.int/peh-emf. 
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits 
for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits 
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference 
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate 
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the 
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, 
there is no guarantee that interference to radio or television reception, which can 
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to 
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which 
the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for 
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed radio service 
(e.g. FM broadcast), they bear the following statement:
