PROTECT YOUR HEARING
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods. Exercise caution when holding your device near your ear while the loudspeaker is in use.

Safety and use …..
We recommend that you read this chapter carefully before using your device. The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage, which may result as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions contained herein.

TRAFFIC SAFETY:

Given that studies show that using a device while driving a vehicle constitutes a real risk, even when the hands-free kit is used (car kit, headset…), drivers are requested to refrain from using their device when the vehicle is not parked. Check the laws and regulations on the use of wireless devices and their accessories in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. The use of these devices may be prohibited or restricted in certain areas.

CONDITIONS OF USE:

You are advised to switch off the device from time to time to optimize its performance;

This symbol on your device, the battery, and the accessories means that these products must be taken to collection points at the end of their life:
Municipal waste disposal centers with specific bins for these items of equipment;
Collection bins at points of sale.
They will then be recycled, preventing substances being disposed of in the environment, so that their components can be reused.

In European Union countries:
These collection points are accessible free of charge.
All products with this sign must be brought to these collection points.
In non-European Union jurisdictions:
Items of equipment with this symbol are not to be thrown into ordinary bins if your jurisdiction or your region has suitable recycling and collection facilities; instead they are to be taken to collection points for them to be recycled. In the United States you may learn more about CTIA’s Recycling Program at http://www.gowirelessgogreen.org/

Radio waves ………….
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio-frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies.
These guidelines include a substantial safety margin designed to ensure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by public authorities such as the Federal Communications Commission of the US Government (FCC), or by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED), is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body 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.
This device is complied with SAR for general population / uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: 2ACCJB159 Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output of the device. Before a device model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown. The highest SAR value for this model 9296Q when tested is 1.32 W/Kg for use close to the body. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.
For body-worn operation, the device meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 0 mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Additional information on SAR can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site: http://www.ctia.org/
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of devices. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of using “hands-free” devices to keep devices
away from the head and body. Additional WHO information about electromagnetic fields and public health are available on the following website:
http://www.who.int/peh-emf. Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna;
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver;
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected;
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For the receiver devices associated with the operation of a licensed radio service, they bear the following statement:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference;
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Your device is equipped with a built-in antenna. For optimal operation, you should avoid touching it or degrading it.

As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can be used in positions other than against your ear. In such circumstances the device will be compliant with the guidelines when used with a headset or USB data cable.
If you are using another accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the device at least 0 mm away from the body.
