Your O

Apollo Pocket PC Phone
has been
designed, manufactured and tested not to
exceed the limits for exposure to
electromagnetic elds recommended by the
Council of the European Union. These limits
are part of comprehensive guidelines
developed by independent scientic
organizations.
European standards provide for the amount
of radio frequency electromagnetic energy
absorbed by the body when using a phone
to be measured by reference to the Specic
Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit for
the general public is currently 2 watts per
kilogram averaged over 10 grams of body
tissue.
The maximum SAR values for the O

Apollo
are
• 0.859 W/kg @10g (CE-EGSM)
• 0.666 W/kg @10g (CE-DCS)
• 0.854 W/kg @10g (CE-WCDMA)
• 0.00177 W/kg @10g (CE-WLAN)
• 0.788 W/kg @1g (FCC-Body)
• 1.12 W/kg @1g (FCC-Head)
• 0.00387 W/kg @1g (FCC-WLAN)
14.2 Phone care
You should never attempt to open the
phone casing. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside and you might damage sensitive
electronic circuits and components.
Unauthorized disassembly will void the
warranty.
You should never leave your phone in the
window of your car or otherwise expose it
to strong sunlight or excessive heat for a
prolonged period. This may damage it.
You should never handle your phone with
wet hands or expose it to moisture or liquids
of any kind. Continuous changes from a
cold to a warm environment may lead to
condensation inside the phone, resulting in
corrosion and possible damage.
If you pack your phone in your suitcase
during travel, beware damage. Cramming
a suitcase may crack the LCD display.
Remember to switch off your wireless
connections during air travel.
As with all other radio devices, touching
the built-in antenna area during telephone
conversation may impair the quality and lead
to shorter standby time due to increased
power consumption.
The battery
Your phone is equipped with a high-
performance Li-Ion battery. Optional battery
types may be available; check with your
local retailer. Observe the maintenance
guidelines and your battery should give you
a long service life.
• At the beginning of the battery’s life,
fully charge and discharge (let it go at)
three times.
• Do not overcharge the Li-Ion battery,
as this can result in a reduction in
battery performance and lifespan. The
recommended maximum charge time is
2.5 hrs.
