Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification 
information
Your device conforms to European Union (EU) standards that limit 
human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and 
telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of 
mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the 
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 W/kg.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was  
0.645 W/kg. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as 
the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to 
transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting 
lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure 
to RF energy.
Avoid disturbing others when using the device in public
Do not allow children to use your device
Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to play with it as they 
could hurt themselves and others, damage the device, or make calls that 
increase your charges.
Install mobile devices and equipment with cautionEnsure that any mobile devices or related equipment installed in your •	vehicle are securely mounted. 
Avoid placing your device and accessories near or in an air bag •	deployment area. Improperly installed wireless equipment can cause 
serious injury when air bags inflate rapidly.
