Prevent hearing damage

Lenovo Phone has a headphone connector. Always use the headphone connector for headphones (also called a headset) or earphones.

CAUTION: Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. Adjustment of the equalizer to maximum increases the earphone and headphone output voltage and the sound pressure level. Therefore, to protect your hearing, adjust the equalizer to an appropriate level.

Excessive use of headphones or earphones for a long period of time at high volume can be dangerous if the output of the headphone or earphone connectors do not comply with specifications of EN 50332-2.

The headphone output connector of Lenovo Phone complies with EN 50332-2 Sub clause 7. This specification limits Lenovo Phone’s maximum wide band true RMS output voltage to 150 mV. To help protect against hearing loss, ensure that the headphones or earphones you use also comply with EN 50332-2 (Clause 7 limits) for a wide band characteristic voltage of 75 mV. Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-2 can be dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.

If Lenovo Phone came with headphones or earphones in the package, as a set, the combination of the headphones or earphones and Lenovo Phone already complies with the specifications of EN 50332-1. If different headphones or earphones are used, ensure that they comply with EN 50332-1 (Clause 6.5 Limitation Values). Using headphones that do not comply with EN 50332-1 can be dangerous due to excessive sound pressure levels.

Sound pressure warning statement

For the device that is tested in accordance with EN 60950-1: 2006+A11:2009:+A1:2010+A12:2011, it is mandatory to perform audio tests for EN50332. This device has been tested to comply with the Sound Pressure Level requirement in the applicable EN 50332-1 and/or EN 50332-2 standards. Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.

Warning statement: To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.

Operating temperature

Use Lenovo Phone only in the temperature range of -10° C (14 °F) — 45° C (113 °F) to avoid damage.

Specific Absorption Rate information

This mobile device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The India SAR limit for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg averaged over 1 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 highest SAR value for your Lenovo device when tested for use at the head and body is outlined as follows:

Position	The highest SAR value	Regulation
Head	1.466	India 1g SAR Limit (1.6 W/kg)
Body-worn	1.114	India 1g SAR Limit (1.6 W/kg)

During use, the actual SAR values for this device are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile devices is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output of the device, the lower its SAR value. To meet RF exposure guidelines during body-worn operation, the device must be positioned at least 1.5cm away from your body.
