not contain any metal  
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your  
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.  
Heed service markings  
Except as explained elsewhere in the Operating or Service documentation,  
do not service any product yourself. Service needed on components inside  
these compartments should be done by an authorized service technician or  
provider.  
Damage requiring service  
Unplug the product from the electrical outlet and refer servicing to an  
authorized service technician or provider under the following conditions:  
Liquid has been spilled or an object has fallen into the product.  
The product has been exposed to rain or water.  
The product has been dropped or damaged.  
There are noticeable signs of overheating.  
The product does not operate normally when you follow the  
operating instructions.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of  
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.  
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC  
RF exposure guidelines when used with the standard accessories supplied  
or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure  
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional  
protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage.  
Normal conditions only ensure the radiative performance and safety of  
the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users  
are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the  
Appendix 193  
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.  
SAR Information  
1.49 mW/g (1g)  
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety  
information  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a  
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld  
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the  
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent  
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.  
Persons with pacemakers:  
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their  
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.  
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.  
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential  
for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is  
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.  
Hearing Aids  
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the  
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider,  
or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.  
Other Medical Devices  
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer  
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external  
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this  
information.  
Turn your phone OFF 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.  
194 Appendix  
Other tips and cautions  
Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel  
frame of a building).  
Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as  
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.  
Avoid using your phone after a dramatic change in temperature.  
WEEE Notice  
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which  
entered into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a  
major change in the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.  
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE,  
and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery  
of such wastes so as to reduce disposal.  
The WEEE logo (shown at the left) on the product or on its box  
indicates that this product must not be disposed of or dumped  
with your other household waste. You are liable to dispose of all  
your electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating over  
to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous  
waste. Isolated collection and proper recovery of your electronic  
and electrical waste equipment at the time of disposal will  
allow us to help conserving natural resources. Moreover, proper  
recycling of the electronic and electrical waste equipment will  
ensure safety of human health and environment. For more  
information about electronic and electrical waste equipment  
disposal, recovery, and collection points, please contact your  
local city centre, household waste disposal service, shop from  
where you purchased the equipment, or manufacturer of the  
equipment.  
RoHS Compliance  
This product is in compliance with Directive 2002/95/EC of the European  
Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003, on the restriction of the  
use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment  
(RoHS) and its amendments.
