ways of using devices with a

transmission power exceeding 10 W.
Use of a hands-free attachment

without external antenna with mobile

telephone standards GSM

900/1800/1900 and UMTS is only

permitted if the maximum

transmission power of the mobile

telephone is 2 W for GSM 900 or

1 W for the other types.
For reasons of safety, do not use the

phone while driving. Even use of a

hands-free set can be a distraction

while driving.

Warning
