However, certain medical devices, including implanted medical equipment, might not be shielded against the RF signals from the wireless device. Using radio transmitting equipment, including wireless devices, may interfere with inadequately shielded medical devices' function. To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of medical devices recommend that the minimum distance between the wireless device and the medical device should be 15.3 centimeters. If you are using a pacemaker, do not put the wireless device into a pocket near the heart. Consult a physician or the medical device's manufacturer if you have any questions about using your wireless device with a medical device.

22.15. Radio Frequency Exposure Information

Your YotaPhone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It meets international guidelines for exposure to radio waves.

As recommended by international guidelines, the device is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and include safety measures designed to ensure safety for all users, regardless of age and health.

The Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a device. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the device when being operated can be below that value. This is because the device is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.

The SAR limit recommended by ICNIRP is 2.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue. The highest SAR value for this YotaPhone device is 0.570 W/kg when tested at the ear, and 0.276 W/kg when properly worn on the body.

YotaPhone SAR value measurements have been conducted following EN 50360:2001/A1:2012 & EN 62209-1:2006 standards, and EN 50360:2001/AC & EN 62209-1:2006 standards respectively.

The website also provides contact details for Yota Devices repair and service centres, and a description of the procedure to be followed regarding the YotaPhone warranty. As a consumer, you may have other legal rights and protections including warranties implied by statute. The YotaPhone warranty does not in any way limit, restrict or otherwise affect such rights.
