APPENDIX
17.1
CERTIFICATION INFORMATION (SAR)
This model meets international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines.
These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices used
by the general public is 2.0 W/kg.
As SAR is measured utilising the device's highest transmitting power,
the actual SAR of the device while operating is typically below the above
indicated level.
This is due to automatic changes to the power level of the device to
ensure it only uses the minimum level requested to reach the network.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones
and at various positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for
safe exposure.
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific
information does not indicate the need for any special precaution for the
use of mobile devices. They note that if you want to reduce your exposure
then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a "hands-free"
device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.

Care and Maintenance
17.2.1 Battery and Charger Safety
1. Only use batteries approved by the phone manufacturer.
2. Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance
of a new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles.
3. The charging time depends on the charger and the battery used.
4. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it
will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably
shorter than normal, replace the battery.
5. If unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge.
