SAR measurement EU: GSM900: 0.668 W/Kg; DCS1800: 0.154 W/Kg. USA: PCS1900:0.366 W/Kg (head); 0.301 W/Kg (body). Your handheld mobile phone is a low power transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. European and international agencies have set standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. · International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996 · Verband Deutscher Elektroingenieure (VDE) DIN- 0848 · Directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in Matters of Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Energy · National Radiological Protection Board of the United Kingdom, GS 11, 1988 · American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1- 1992 · National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP). Report 86 · Department of Health and Welfare Canada. Safety Code 6 Safety information i These standards are based on extensive scientific review. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers and physicians from universities, government health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the updated ANSI Standard. The design of your phone complies with these standards when used normally. Specific operating restrictions No metallic component allowed in body-worn accessories. Phone operation · Normal Position: Hold the phone as you would with any other telephone. · To avoid potential RF interference, please do not wear the phone around your neck or in front your chest for long hours. Batteries · For safety concerns, when the temperature of the phone goes over 45°C (113F) or below 0°C (32F), charging will halt. · Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14F) or above 45°C (113F). Always take your phone with you when you leave your vehicle. · Use only genuine batteries to ensure the phone's normal operation. ii Safety information All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The material may complete the electrical circuit and become quite hot. To protect against such unwanted current drain, exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container with metal objects. Your batteries are packaged with a protective battery cover; please use this cover for storing your batteries when not in use. Driving Check the laws and regulations on the use of moblie phones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, if using your phone while driving, please: · Give full attention to driving--driving safety is your first responsibility. · Use handsfree operation, if available. · Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Electronic devices Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your wireless phone. Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6") inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Safety information iii Persons with pacemakers: · Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON. · Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket. · Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimise the potential for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately. Hearing aids Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other medical devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy. Vehicles RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle. iv Safety information Posted facilities Turn your phone OFF in any facility where posted notice so requires. Aircraft FCC regulations prohibit using your phone while in the air. Switch OFF your phone before boarding an aircraft. Blasting areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone OFF when in a "blasting area" or in the area posted "TURN OFF TWO-WAY RADIO." Obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres Turn your phone OFF and do not remove the battery when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks from your battery in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gasoline stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. For vehicles equipped with an airbag An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including both installed or portable wireless equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the airbag inflates, serious injury could result. Safety information v This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. this device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and that positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on. European Union Directives Conformance Statement BenQ Corporation hereby declares that E61 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of the Directives below: R&TTE Directive(1999/5/EC), Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive(89/336/EEC), and Low Voltage Directive(73/23/EEC).
