14. Energy Efficiency


Recommendations on how to save energy:

• Do not charge a battery when the ambient room temperature is above +40° C or below 
+5° C (above 104° F or below 41° F). Charging below +5° C will harm the battery and
shorten the lifetime.
• Note that storing Li-Ion batteries at high temperature dramatically reduces its capacity.
For example storage around +60° C reduces capacity with 20% in less than a month,
permanently.
• Set the handset screen saver to the "Black also in call" option. The screen goes black and
the backlight is turned off. In addition, the backlight is turned off when the handset is in
call. This helps extend battery life especially when the user is on an extended call. See
Screen Saver on page 32.
• The handset can be configured to switch off when placed in the charger. When removed
from the charger the handset switches on automatically. See Switch off While Charging
on page 35.
• If the charger will not be used for a longer period of time, remove the power adapter to
the charger.
• Do not put the handset in charger if no charging is needed.

A.1.1 Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

Close to ear Handheld/body mounted


DH6-xxxx 0.069 W/kg (10 g) 0.091 W/kg (10 g)

THIS MOBILE 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 ICNIRP 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
Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 W/kg
averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating
positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level 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 ear is 0.201 W/kg and at the body is 0.278 W/kg (The measure distance of
1.5 cm). 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.

A.2.1 FCC and IC Compliance Statements

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antennas.


• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Privacy of communications may not be ensured when using this handset.

A.2.2 Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This device complies with FCC SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg. The maximum SAR value
measured, see below.

Head Body
DH6-xxxx 0.057 W/kg 0.070 W/kg

The handset is designed to be worn with the display towards the body for best radio
performance. SAR testing is made with no separation, to approve the device to be carried
close to the body.

This device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

Use of non-Ascom approved accessories may violate the FCC and IC guidelines for RF
exposure and should be avoided.

A.3 Precautions

A.3.1 Handset

• Avoid volume levels that may be harmful to your hearing. Exposure to excessive sound
pressure from a handset's earpiece or headset may cause permanent hearing loss.
• Low volume levels might result in missed alerts.
• Only use the handset in temperatures between:
-5 °C and +45 °C (23 °F and 113 °F).

• Avoid exposing the handset to direct sunlight, heat sources and moisture.
• Do not place a cold handset in a charger.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent condensation in the handset. It is
recommended to put the handset into an air tight plastic bag until the temperature is
adjusted, for example, when entering or leaving a cold/heated building on a warm/cold
day.
• If the handset has been exposed to water or condense, remove the battery immediately,
and let it dry completely before re-inserting the battery.
• Do not expose the handset to open flame.
• Protect your handset from aggressive liquids and vapors.
• Remove the handset from the Charger before cleaning the handset to reduce risk of
electric shock.
• Keep the handset away from strong electromagnetic fields.
• The handset may retain small metal objects around the earpiece region.
• Do not place heavy objects on the handset.
• Do not allow children to play with the product packaging material. This could cause
choking and/or suffocation.
• Do not allow children to play with the handset. It is not a toy.

A.3.2 Battery

• Do not immerse the battery into water. This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to an open flame. This could cause the battery to explode.
• Do not allow the metal contacts on the battery to touch another metal object. This could
short-circuit and damage the battery.
• Do not leave the battery where it could be subjected to extremely high temperatures,
such as inside a car on a hot day.
• Use the Desktop Charger, the Charging Rack, or the Battery Pack Charger for charging.
Charge the battery for at least one hour the first time you use the battery.
• Do not charge the battery when the ambient room temperature is above 40 °C or below
5 °C (above 104 °F or below 41 °F).
• Do not attempt to take the battery apart.
• Do not remove the battery, unless it needs to be replaced.
• Power off the handset before removing the battery.

Battery Disposal
Defective batteries must be returned to a collection point for chemical waste disposal.
