8 Important Information
• Do not remove the antenna yourself. If your mobile
phone’s antenna is damaged, please take it to an Ericsson
Service Point or Certified Service Center.
• Use only an antenna that has been specifically designed
for your mobile phone. Use of unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could damage the mobile
phone and may violate the appropriate regulations,
causing loss of performance and radio frequency (RF)
energy above the recommended limits.
Efficient Use
For optimum performance with minimum power
consumption please:
• Hold the mobile phone as you would any other
telephone. While speaking directly into the mouthpiece,
angle the antenna in a direction up and over your shoulder.
If the antenna is extendable/retractable, it should be
extended during a call.
• Do not hold the antenna when the mobile phone is in
use. Holding the antenna affects call quality, may cause
the mobile phone to operate at a higher power level than
needed and may shorten talk and standby times. If your
mobile phone is equipped with an infrared port, never
direct the infrared ray at anyone’s eye and make sure that
it does not disturb any other infrared units.
Radio Frequency Energy
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is turned on, it intermittently receives
and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves).
The system that handles the call controls the power level
at which the phone transmits.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
All Ericsson mobile phone models are designed to not
exceed the limits for exposure to RF energy set by
national authorities and international health agencies.*
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and
establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by
independent scientific organizations such as ICNIRP
(International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) through periodic and thorough evaluation of
scientific studies. The limits include a substantial safety
margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health, and to account for any
variations in measurements.
