Phone and battery must be disposed of in accordance with locally applicable environmental regulations. This symbol on your phone, 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 types of equipment; • Collection bins at points of sale.

Your phone 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.

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 phones. If individuals are concerned, they may choose to limit their own or their children’s RF exposure by limiting the length of calls, or using “hands-free” devices to keep phones away from the head and body.
If you are using another accessory ensure that whatever product is used is free of any metal and that it positions the phone at least 10 mm away from the body.
