•RADIO WAVES:
THIS CELLPHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Yourcellphone 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 cellphones 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 Industry Canada, is 1.6W/kg averaged over 1 gram of body tissue.Testsfor SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the cellphone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the cellphone while operating can be well below the maximum value.This is because the cellphone 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 cellphone Before a cellphone model is available for sale to the public, compliance with national regulations and standards must be shown.
The highest SAR value when tested is 1.1 W/kg (OT-305A), 1.13 W/kg (OT-508A)for

Protection against theft (1)
Your cellphone is identified by an IMEI (cellphone serial number) shown on the packaging label and in the product's memory.We recommend that you note the number the first time you use your cellphone by entering *#06# and keep it in a safe place. It may be requested by the police or your operator if your cellphone is stolen.This number allows your cellphone to be blocked preventing a third person from using it, even with a different SIM card.
Disclaimer
There may be certain differences between the user manual description and the cellphone's operation, depending on the software release of your cellphone or specific operator services.
When the cellphone is switched on, it should be kept at least 15 cm from any medical device such as a pacemaker,a hearing aid or insulin pump. In particular when using the cellphone you should hold it against the ear on the opposite side furthest from the device, if any. To avoid hearing impairment, answer the call before holding your cellphone to your ear.Also move the handset away from your ear while using the "hands-free" option because the amplified volume might cause hearing damage.
Do not let small children use your cellphone without supervision.
When replacing the cover please note that your cellphone may contain substances that could create an allergic reaction.
Always handle your cellphone with care and keep it in a clean and dust-free place.

use at the ear and 1.16W/kg (OT-305A),1.24W/kg(OT-508A)for use close to the body. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various cellphones and at variouspositions,they all meet the government requirement for RF exposure.For body- worn operation, the cellphone meets FCC RF exposure guidelines provided that it is used with a non-metallic accessory with the handset at least 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
TheWorld Health Organization (WHO) considers that present scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions for use of cellphones. If individuals are concerned, they might choose to limit their own or their children's RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using "hands-free" devices to keep cellphones away from the head and body.
