Precautions
Your cellular mobile phone is a low power
radio transmitter and receiver. When it is
operating, it sends and receives radio waves.
The radio waves carry your voice or data
signal to a base station that is connected to the
telephone network. The network controls the power at
which the phone transmits.
• Your phone transmits/receives radio waves in the
GSM frequency (900 /1800MHz).
• The GSM network controls transmission power
(0.01 to 2 watts).
• Your phone complies with all relevant safety
standards.
• The CE mark on your phone shows compliancy
with European electromagnetic compatibility
(Ref. 89/336/EEC) and low voltage directives
(Ref. 73/23/EEC).
Your cellular mobile phone is your responsibility. To
avoid damage to yourself, to others or to the phone it-
self, read and follow all the safety instructions and
make them known to anyone borrowing your phone.
Furthermore to prevent unauthorised use of your
phone:
Keep your phone in a safe place and keep it
out of small children's reach.
Avoid writing down your PIN code. Try to
remember it instead.
Switch off the phone and remove the battery if you are
going to leave it unused for a long time.
Use the
Security
menu to change the PIN code after
purchasing the phone and to activate call restriction
options.
The design of your phone complies with all
applicable laws and regulations. However
your phone may cause interference with oth-
er electronic devices. Consequently you
should follow all local recommendations and regula-
tions when using your cellular phone both at home
and when away. Regulations on the use of cellular
phones in vehicles and aircraft are particularly strin-
gent.
Public concern has been focused for some time on the
possible health risks for users of cellular phones. The
current research on radio wave technology, including
the GSM technology, has been reviewed and safety
standards have been drawn up to ensure protection
from exposure to radio wave energy. Your cellular tele-
