Precautions
Your cellular mobile phone is a low power radio
transmitter and receiver. When it is operating, it
sends and receives radio waves. The radio waves
carry your voice or data signal to a base station that
is connected to the telephone network. The
network controls the power at which the phone transmits.
•
Your phone transmits/receives radio waves in the GSM
frequency (900 /1800MHz).
• The GSM network controls transmission power (0.01
to 2 watts).
• Your phone complies with all relevant safety standards.
• The CE mark on your phone shows compliancy with
European electromagnetic compatibility (Ref. 89/336/
EEC) and low voltage directives (Ref. 73/23/EEC).
Your cellular mobile phone is your responsibility. To avoid
damage to yourself, to others or to the phone itself, read and
follow all the safety instructions and make them known to
anyone borrowing your phone. Furthermore to prevent
unauthorised use of your phone:
Keep your phone in a safe place and keep it out of
small children's reach.
Avoid writing down your PIN code. Try to re-
member it instead.
Switch off the phone and remove the battery if you
are going to leave it unused for a long time.
Use the
Security menu to change the PIN code after
purchasing the phone and to activate call restriction options.
The design of your phone complies with all
applicable laws and regulations. However your
phone may cause interference with other electronic
devices. Consequently you should follow all local
recommendations and regulations when using
your cellular phone both at home and when away.
Regulations on the use of cellular phones in vehicles and
aircraft are particularly stringent.
Public concern has been focused for some time on the possible
health risks for users of cellular phones. The current research
on radio wave technology, including the GSM technology,
has been reviewed and safety standards have been drawn up to
ensure protection from exposure to radio wave energy. Your
cellular telephone complies with all applicable safety
standards
and the Radio Equipment and
Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/
5/EC.
Inadequately protected or sensitive electronic equipment
may be affected by radio energy. This interference can lead to
accidents.
Before boarding an aircraft and/or when packing
the phone in your luggage: the use of mobile
phones in an aircraft may be dangerous for the
operation of the aircraft, disrupt the mobile phones
network and may be illegal.
In hospitals, clinics, other health care centres and
anywhere else where you may be in the close
vicinity of medical equipment.
