Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the
One Touch
™ 531 dual band mobile
telephone. The mobile telephone de-
scribed in this guide is approved for use
on all GSM 900/1800 networks. Some
of the messages displayed on your mo-
bile may be different according to your
subscription and/or service provider.
As with all types of radio transceivers
this mobile telephone emits electro-
magnetic waves and complies with in-
ternational regulations when it is used
under normal conditions and in accord-
ance with the safety and warning mes-
sages given below.
Radio waves
Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, compliance with the
International guidelines (ICNIRP) or Eu-
ropean Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE)
must be shown. The protection of the
health and the safety for the user and
any other person constitute an essential
element of these guidelines or this di-
rective.
THIS MOBILE PHONE MEETS THE INTER-
NATIONAL AND EU REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your mobile phone is a radio transmit-
ter and receiver. It is designed and man-
ufactured not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy
recommended by International guide-
lines (ICNIRP)
1 and by the Council of the
European Union (Recommendation
1999/519/EC)
2 .
These limits are part of comprehensive
guidelines and establish permitted lev-
els of RF energy for the general popula-
tion. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organisations
through periodic and thorough evalua-
tion of scientific studies. The limits in-
clude a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all per-
sons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for mobile
phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the Inter-
national guidelines or recommended by
the Council of the European Union is 2
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over
ten grams of body tissue. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operat-
ing positions with the phone transmit-
ting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although
the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR lev-
el of the phone while operating can be
well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to oper-
1. ICNIRP guidelines are applicable in the
following areas: Central America
(except Mexico), South & North Africa,
Asia Pacific (except Taiwan, Korea, and
Australia).
2. European recommendation
(1999/519/EC) is applicable in the fol-
lowing areas: Europe, Eastern Europe,
Israel.
