6 Appendix Appendix 7
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is
far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by
international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C.1-1
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 6.
16
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 16
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial
safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any
variations in usage.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of
unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone,
causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well
as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your device only
in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the antenna area unnecessarily when
placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality
and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding
contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna
performance and the battery life.
Body-worn measurements were tested for typical body-worn operations with the back
of the device kept 1. cm from the body.

Safety precautions for RF exposure
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not
contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF
exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
