Please read before proceeding
• Use only the batteries and power adapter provided by the manufacturer
. The use of 
unauthorized accessories may void your warranty.
• Do not store your device in temperatures higher than 50°C (122°F).
• The operating temperature for this device is from 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F).
CE SAR Information
This device MEETS GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. 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 ICNIR and include safety margins 
designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and \
health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as the 
SpecificAbsorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 W/
kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Test for body worn SAR, the positions of the device 
are at a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body with the device transmitting at\
 its highest 
certified powerlevel in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating 
device can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the 
power required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of 
factors such as how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value
under the ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the body is 0.0246 W/kg. Use of 
device accessories and enhancements may result in different SAR values. SAR values 
may vary depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band.
Following information is only for EU-member states:
The mark is in compliance with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment 
Directive 2002/96/EC (WEEE).
The mark indicates the requirement NOT to dispose the equipment including any 
spent or discarded batteries or accumulators as unsorted municipal waste\
, but 
use the return and collection systems available.
If the batteries, accumulators and button cells included with this equip\
ment, display 
the chemical symbol Hg, Cd, or Pb, then it means that the battery has a \
heavy 
metal content of more than 0.0005% Mercury or more than, 0.002% Cadmium,\
 or 
more than 0.004% Lead.
European Union Regulatory Conformance
The equipment complies with the RF Exposure Requirement 1999/519/EC, 
Council Recommendation of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the 
general public to electromagnetic fields (0-300 GHz).This equipment meets the 
following conformance standards: EN50332-1/2, EN301489-1, EN301489-17, 
EN55022/24, EN62209-2, EN60950-1, EN300328.
The device has been tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level requi\
rement laid 
down inthe applicable EN 50332-1 and EN 50332-2 standards. Permanent hea\
ring loss 
may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume for prolong\
ed periods of 
time. A pleine puissance, l'ecoute prolongee du baladeur peut endommager l'orei\
