Emergency calls
When making emergency calls from your Toshiba
phone, ensure that the phone is switched on and in
service.
Calls cannot be made to emergency services while
data communication is being performed within a
GSM area. Also, calls may not be able to be made to
emergency services depending on the network
services of some service providers.
There is no guarantee that a connection can be
established in all countries and areas because
operation of your phone differs depending on the
wireless network, wireless signal and your setting
status. Do not rely solely on your mobile phone
when you need to make emergency calls.
European RF Exposure
Information
Your Toshiba phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for
exposure to radio waves recommended by
international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific
organisation ICNIRP and include safety margins
designed to assure the protection of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit
for mobile devices is 2 W/kg and the SAR value for
this device when tested at the ear was 0.684 W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilising the device’s highest
transmitting power, the actual SAR of this device
while operating is typically below that indicated
above. This is due to automatic changes to the
power level of the device to ensure it only uses the
minimum level required to reach the network.
The World Health Organization has stated that
present scientific information does not indicate the
need for any special precautions for the use of
mobile devices. They state that if you want to reduce
your exposure then you can do so by limiting the
length of calls or using a ‘hands-free’ device to keep
IMPORTANT: You can still make calls to
emergency services when the SIM card is not
inserted, the SIM card is locked, the phone is
locked, Call Barring is set, or Fixed Dialing
is set.
