84 Safety precautions
While driving, safely operating the vehicle is your first responsibility. Never use your mobile
device while driving, if it is prohibited by law. For your safety and the safety of others, practice
good common sense and remember the following tips:
• Use a hands-free device.
• Get to know your device and its convenience features, such as speed dial and redial. These
features help you reduce the time needed to place or receive calls on your mobile device.
• Position your device within easy reach. Be able to access your wireless device without
removing your eyes from the road. If you receive an incoming call at an inconvenient time,
let your voice mail answer it for you.
• Let the person you are speaking with know you are driving. Suspend calls in heavy traffic or
hazardous weather conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice, and heavy traffic can be hazardous.
• Do not take notes or look up phone numbers. Jotting down a “to do” list or flipping through
your address book takes attention away from your primary responsibility of driving safely.
• Dial sensibly and assess the traffic. Place calls when you are not moving or before pulling
into traffic. Try to plan calls when your car will be stationary. If you need to make a call, dial
only a few numbers, check the road and your mirrors, then continue.
• Do not engage in stressful or emotional conversations that may be distracting. Make
people you are talking with aware you are driving and suspend conversations that have the
potential to divert your attention from the road.
• Use your device to call for help. Dial a local emergency number in the case of fire, traffic
accident, or medical emergencies.
• Use your device to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, a crime in
progress, or a serious emergency where lives are in danger, call a local emergency number.
• Call roadside assistance or a special, non-emergency assistance number when necessary.
If you see a broken-down vehicle posing no serious hazard, a broken traffic signal, a minor
traffic accident where no one appears injured, or a vehicle you know to be stolen, call
roadside assistance or another special, non-emergency number.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information
Your device conforms to U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards that limit
human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications
equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile device that exceed a maximum
exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 1.6 W/kg.
During testing, the maximum SAR values recorded for this model were:
Network Frequency
Specific Absorption Rate (W/kg)
GSM850
1.03
GSM1900
0.64
WCDMA850
0.77
WCDMA1900
0.97
GSM900
0.71
GSM1800
0.69
WCDMA2100
0.967
In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the device 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 device reduces your overall exposure
to RF energy.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device based on the
compliance of all reported SAR levels with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. The authorization
can be found on the FCC Office of Engineering and Technology website at
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea (search for grantee code A3L and product code GTP1000L).
When carrying the product or using it while worn on the body maintain a distance of
5 mm from the body to ensure compliance with RF exposure requirements.
