13Important usage informationsafety and usageinformationHandle SIM cards and memory cards with careDo not remove a card while the phone is transferring or•accessing information, as this could result in loss of dataand/or damage to the card or phone.Protect cards from strong shocks, static electricity, and•electrical noise from other devices.Frequent writing and erasing will shorten the life span of•memory cards.Do not touch gold-coloured contacts or terminals with•your fingers or metal objects. If dirty, wipe the card witha soft cloth.Ensure access to emergency servicesEmergency calls from your phone may not be possiblein some areas or circumstances. Before travelling inremote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate method ofcontacting emergency services personnel.Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certificationinformationYour phone conforms to European Union (EU) standardsthat limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energyemitted by radio and telecommunications equipment.These standards prevent the sale of mobile phones thatexceed a maximum exposure level (known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 watts per kilogram of bodytissue.During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this modelwas 0.692 watts per kilogram. In normal use, the actualSAR is likely to be much lower, as the phone has beendesigned to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmita signal to the nearest base station. By automaticallyemitting lower levels when possible, your phone reducesyour overall exposure to RF energy.
