Additional safety information

Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of the
reach of small children.

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always switch
off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or
danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions. This device meets
RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the
ear or when positioned at least 2.2 centimeters (7/8 inch) away from the body.
When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn operation, it should
not contain metal and should position the device the above-stated distance from
your body.

To transmit data files or messages, this device requires a quality connection to the
network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be delayed
until such a connection is available. Ensure that the above separation distance
instructions are followed until the transmission is completed.

Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device.
Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the device, because
information stored on them may be erased.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may
interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices. Consult
a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any questions. Switch
off your device in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

Implanted medical devices

Manufacturers of medical devices recommend that a minimum separation of
15.3 centimeters (6 inches) should be maintained between a wireless device and
an implanted medical device, such as a pacemaker or implanted cardioverter
defibrillator to avoid potential interference with the medical device. Persons who
have such devices should:

Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from
the medical device when the wireless device is turned on

Do not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket

Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device to minimize
the potential for interference.

Turn the wireless device off immediately if there is any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place.

Read and follow the directions from the manufacturer of their implanted
medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted
medical device, consult your health care provider.

Hearing aids

Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids. If interference
occurs, consult your service provider.

Vehicles

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic
antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag
systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer or its representative
of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.

Only qualified personnel should service the device, or install the device in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment
in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable
liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its
parts, or enhancements. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air
bags inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including installed or portable
wireless equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result.

Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before
boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous
to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may
be illegal.

Potentially explosive environments

Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Switch
off the device at refueling points such as near gas pumps at service stations.
Observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, storage, and
distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting operations are in progress.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often but not always clearly
marked. They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,
vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane), and areas where
the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Emergency calls

Important: Wireless phones, including this device, operate using radio
signals, wireless networks, landline networks, and user-programmed
functions. Because of this, connections in all conditions cannot be
guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any wireless device for
essential communications like medical emergencies.

To make an emergency call:

1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate signal strength.

Some networks may require that a valid SmartChip card is properly inserted
in the device.

2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the display and ready the

device for calls.

3. Enter the official emergency number for your present location. Emergency

numbers vary by location.

4. Press the call key.

If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those features off before
you can make an emergency call. If the device is in the offline or flight mode, you
must change the profile to activate the phone function before you can make an
emergency call. Consult this guide or your service provider for more information.

When making an emergency call, give all the necessary information as accurately
as possible. Your wireless device may be the only means of communication at the
scene of an accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.

Hearing aid compatibility (HAC)

Warning: For hearing aid compatibility, you must turn off the
Bluetooth connectivity.

Your mobile device model complies with FCC rules governing hearing aid
compatibility. These rules require an M3 microphone or higher value. The M-value,
shown on the device box, refers to lower radio frequency (RF) emissions. A higher
M-value generally indicates that a device model has a lower RF emissions level,
which may improve the likelihood that the device will operate with certain hearing
aids. Some hearing aids are more immune than others are to interference. Please
consult your hearing health professional to determine the M-rating of your hearing
aid and whether your hearing aid will work with this device. More information on
accessibility can be found at

Certification information (SAR)

This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed to meet the
requirements for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal
Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada. These requirements
set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over one gram of tissue. The exposure
guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the IEEE guidelines is
1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at
its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR
level of an operating device can be below the maximum value because the device
is designed to use only the power required to reach the network. That amount
changes depending on a number of factors such as how close you are to a net-
work base station. The highest SAR value under the FCC guidelines for use of the
device at the ear is 1.25

W/kg and when worn properly on the body is 0.88 W/kg.

Use of device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values

.

SAR values may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements
and the network band. Additional SAR information may be provided under product
information at

This phone model is not authorized for use in the European Union and the
EFTA countries.
