Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, theactual SAR level of the phone while operating can bewell below the maximum value. This is because thephone is designed to operate at multiple power levels soas to use only the power required to reach the network.In general, the closer you are to a wireless base stationantenna, the lower the power output of the phone.

Precautions when using batteries
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged inany way.

Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose ofbatteries in a fire.
