Chapter 13: Warnings

SAR Information (Specific Absorption Rate)

The device complies with European Union (UE) standards limiting human exposure to radio frequencies (RF) emitted by telecommunication and radio devices. These standards prevent the sale of mobile devices exceeding a maximum exposure level (also known as SAR) of 2.0 W/kg. During testing, the highest recorded SAR level for this model was 0.504 W/kg. During normal use, the actual SAR level may be much lower, as the device is designed to emit only the necessary radio frequency energy to transmit signals to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower energy levels where possible, the device reduces overall exposure to radiofrequency energy for individuals.

Hearing Protection: To avoid potential hearing damage, limit listening time at high volumes.

Information for Users of Domestic Appliances

In accordance with Legislative Decree No. 49 of March 14, 2014, implementing Directive 2012/19/UE on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).

Proper separate collection for recycling, treatment, and environmentally compatible disposal contributes to avoiding negative effects on the environment and health, and promotes the recycling of materials. Unauthorized disposal by the user will result in administrative sanctions as per Legislative Decree No. 49 of March 14, 2014.

The product operates with batteries that fall under European Directive 2006/66/CE and cannot be disposed of with normal household waste. Inquire about local directives regarding battery collection. Proper disposal prevents negative consequences for the environment and health.
