152Health and SafetyInformationExposure to Radio-Frequency Energy(SAR Information)This phone meets European Union (EU)requirements concerning exposure to radio waves.Your mobile phone is a radio transmitter andreceiver. It is designed and manufactured, so as notto exceed the limits for exposure to radio-frequency(RF) energy, as recommended by the EU Council.These limits are part of comprehensive guidelinesand establish permitted levels of RF energy for thegeneral population. The guidelines were developedby independent scientific organisations through theperiodic and thorough evaluation of scientificstudies. The limits include a substantial safetymargin designed to ensure the safety of all persons,regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for mobile phones employsa unit of measurement known as SAR (SpecificAbsorption Rate). The SAR limit recommended bythe EU Council is 2.0W/kg.** The SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten grams ofbody tissue. The limit incorporates a substantial marginof safety to give additional protection for the public andto account for any variations in measurements. The SARvalues may vary depending on national reportingrequirements and the network band.Health and Safety Information153SAR tests are conducted using standard operatingpositions with the phone transmitting at its highestcertified power level in all tested frequency bands.Although the SAR is determined at the highestcertified power level, the actual SAR level of thephone while operating can be well below themaximum value. This is because the phone isdesigned to operate at multiple power levels so asto use only the power required to reach thenetwork. In general, the closer you are to a basestation, the lower the power output of the phone.Before a new model phone is available for sale tothe public, compliance with the European R&TTEDirective must be shown. This directive includes asone of its essential requirements the protection ofthe health and safety of the user and any otherperson.Precautions When Using Batteries• Never use any charger or battery that is damagedin any way.• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.• If you use the phone near the network’s basestation, it uses less power; talk and standby timeare greatly affected by the signal strength on thecellular network and the parameters set by thenetwork operator.• Battery charging time depends on the remainingbattery charge and the type of battery andcharger used. The battery can be charged anddischarged hundreds of times, but it willgradually wear out. When the operation time(talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorterthan normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
