Please read these simple guidelines.Not following these guidelines may

be dangerous or illegal.Exposure to radio frequencyenergy

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONALGUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TORADIO WAVES

Your mobile device is a radiotransmitter and receiver. It isdesigned and manufactured not toexceed the limits for exposure toradio frequency (RF) recommendedby international guidelines(ICNIRP). These limits are part of

comprehensive guidelines andestablish permitted levels of RFenergy for the general population.

The guidelines were developed byindependent scientific organisationsthrough periodic and thorough

evaluation of scientific studies. Theguidelines include a substantialsafety margin designed to assure thesafety of all persons, regardless ofage and health.

The exposure standard formobile devices employs a unit of

measurement known as the SpeciAbsorption Rate, or SAR. The SARlimit stated in the internationalguidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests forSAR are conducted using standardoperating positions with the devicetransmitting at its highest certified

power level in all tested frequencybands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certifiedpower level, the actual SAR of thedevice while operating can be welbelow the maximum value. This isbecause the device is designed to

operate at multiple power levels soas to use only the power required reach the network. In general, thecloser you are to a base station, thlower the power output of the devi

protection of the health and thesafety for the user and any other

person.The highest SAR value for this devicewhen tested for use at the ear is1.27 W/kg.

This device meets RF exposureguidelines when used either in thenormal use position against the earor when positioned at least 1.5 cmaway from the body. When a carrycase, belt clip or holder is used forbody-worn operation, it should notcontain metal and should positionthe product at least 1.5 cm away

from your body. In order to transmitdata files or messages, this devicerequires a quality connection to thenetwork. In some cases, transmissionof data files or messages may bedelayed until such a connectionis available. Ensure the above

separation distance instructions arefollowed until the transmission iscompleted.

The highest SAR value for this devicwhen tested for use at the body is

1.43 W/kg.* The SAR limit for mobile devicesused by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over tengrams of body tissue. The guidelineincorporate a substantial margin ofsafety to give additional protection

for the public and to account for anvariations in measurements.SAR values may vary depending onnational reporting requirements andthe network band.
