124 Safety Precautions and Conditions of Use
PRECAUTIONS CONCERNING VEHICLE USE
• It is the user’s responsibility to check the local laws governing the
use of a mobile phone in vehicles. Pay full attention to driving. Pull
off to the side of the road, park the car, and switch off the engine
before making or answering a call.
• Use of your phone’s function may interfere with the vehicle’s
electronic systems, such as the ABS anti-lock brakes or the
air-bag. To ensure no such problem occurs, please check with
your dealer or car manufacturer before connecting your phone.
• Only allow qualified service maintenance personnel to install the
vehicle accessories.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for damage which may result
as a consequence of improper use or use contrary to the instructions
contained herein.
SAR
Your mobile device 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 organization 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 highest SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was
0.544 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a range of functions, they can
be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in this
user guide**. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 0.876 W/
kg.
As SAR is measured utilizing the devices 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 note 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 the mobile phone away from the head
and body.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with international
guidelines for testing.
