Turn off the phone near medical equipment

Your phone can interfere with medical equipment in hospitals or health care facilities. Follow all regulations, posted warnings, and directions from medical personnel.
Avoid interference with other electronic devices
Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems you experience.
Ensure maximum battery and charger life
Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may shorten battery life. Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use. Disconnect chargers from power sources when not in use. Use batteries only for their intended purpose.

SAR information

Your phone conforms to international guidelines developedbytheindependentscientificorganisation ICNIRP that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These guidelines recommend a maximum exposurelevel(knownastheSpecificAbsorptionRate,or SAR) of 2.0 watts per kilogram of body tissue. During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.342 watts per kilogram when held at the ear and 0.342 watts per kilogram when worn on the body.1 In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the phone has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your phone reduces your overall exposure to RF energy. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that thescientificinformationavailableatpresentdoesnot suggest a need for users to take any special precautions to prevent RF exposure when using mobile phones.
