Emergency calls

When making emergency calls from your Toshiba

phone, ensure that the phone is switched on and in

service.
Calls cannot be made to emergency services while

data communication is being performed within a

GSM area. Also, calls may not be able to be made to

emergency services depending on the network

services of some service providers.

There is no guarantee that a connection can be

established in all countries and areas because

operation of your phone differs depending on the

wireless network, wireless signal and your setting

status. Do not rely solely on your mobile phone

when you need to make emergency calls.

European RF Exposure
Information

Your Toshiba phone 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

organisation 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 SAR limit

for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the SAR value for

this device when tested at the ear was 0.684 W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest

transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device

while operating is typically below that indicated

above. This is due to automatic changes to the

power level of the device to ensure it only uses the

minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that

present scientific information does not indicate the

need for any special precautions for the use of

mobile devices. They state 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

IMPORTANT: You can still make calls to

emergency services when the SIM card is not

inserted, the SIM card is locked, the phone is

locked, Call Barring is set, or Fixed Dialing

is set.
