Important safety information (continued)
Batteries
To ensure optimal battery performance, charge your
sWaP Nova fully before using it.
When you charge the battery it will feel warm. This is
usual and the battery contains temperature protection
circuitry. However, we still strongly recommend that
you do not wear your sWaP Nova when charging the
battery.
Never dispose of your sWaP Nova in a fire.
Do not dispose of your sWaP Nova in the household
waste stream.
Recycle your sWaP Nova either through a mobile phone
recycling scheme or at a local waste recycling centre.
Contact your local authorities for more information.
Vehicles
Do not use your sWaP Nova when you are driving. It is
illegal in many countries to make or receive calls while
driving.
RF signals may affect improperly or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check
with the manufacturer or its representative regarding
your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer
of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your sWaP Nova is a radio transceiver and meets R&TTE
requirements for exposure to radio waves. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by
independent scientific organisations through periodic
and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The
standards include a substantial safety margin designed
to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or
health.
The exposure standard for wireless phone devices
employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit recommended
by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing
Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), is 2W/kg averaged
over ten (10) grams of tissue. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the
actual SAR level of your sWaP Nova while operating can
be well below the maximum value. This is because your
sWaP Nova is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a network
transmitter, the lower the power output.
Before any mobile phone is available for sale to
the public, it is tested to confirm compliance with
the guidelines (e.g., at the ear) that conform to a
uniform testing methodology determined by an expert
standards body.
The maximum results for your sWaP Nova when tested
using the EGSM 900 and EGSM 1800 frequencies were
as follows (all values are stated as Watts per Kg of head
or body tissue averaged over 10 grams of tissue):

date SAR values for your sWaP Nova.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels
of various phones and at various positions, they all met
the R&TTE requirements for safe exposure. Please note
that improvements to your sWaP Nova model could
cause differences in the SAR value for later products;
in all cases, products are designed to be within the
guidelines.
