Caution WARNING: HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION; READ BEFORE USE TO REDUCE THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY, DISCOMFORT, PROPERTY DAMAGE, INCLUDING DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE AND OTHER POTENTIAL HAZARDS

To avoid damaging your phone, accessories or any connected devices, and to reduce the risk of personal injury, discomfort, property damage or other potential hazards, follow these precautions below.

Handling

Handle your phone with care. You may damage the device or the battery if you disassemble, drop, bend, burn, crush or puncture your device. Do not use a device with a cracked screen or a damaged enclosure. Using a damaged device may cause battery overheating or injury. Don't expose your phone to liquids, which can cause a short circuit and overheating. If your phone gets wet, do not attempt to dry it using an external heat source. 

The phone is designed to work best in ambient temperatures between 0° and 35°C (32° and 95°F), and should be stored between ambient temperatures of -20° and 45°C (-4° and 113°F). Do not leave your phone in places where the temperature may exceed 45°C (113°F) , such as on a car dashboard or near a heating vent, as this may damage the product, overheat the battery or pose a risk of fire. Keep your phone away from heat sources and out of direct sunlight. If your device becomes too hot, disconnect it from its power source if it’s plugged in, move it to a cooler place, and don’t use it until it has cooled.

Use of your phone in certain modes, such as gaming, taking videos, using a torch setting or VR, can cause your phone to generate more heat than it would under normal operating conditions. This may cause your phone to operate in a reduced-power mode or temporarily shut down. Try to use extra care when operating the device in these modes.

This may damage the product, overheat the battery or pose a
risk of fire or explosion.

Explosive atmospheres

Do not use, store or transport your phone where flammables or explosives are stored (in petrol stations, fuel depots or chemical plants, for example). Do not use your phone where blasting operations are in progress or in potentially explosive atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Please observe all notices and signs where these hazards might be present.

Navigation  

Your device may include mapping and navigation services. These services depend on a working data connection and Location Services that may not be available at all times. Maps and directions may be inaccurate. You should carefully review directions, use common sense and follow all applicable traffic laws and signs.

Actual conditions and assumption of risk

When you use Google Maps/Google Earth's map data, traffic, directions and other content, you may find that actual conditions differ from the map results and content. Please exercise your independent judgment and use Google Maps/Google Earth at your own risk. You're responsible at all times for your conduct and its consequences.

Distraction

Using your device when performing certain activities can distract you and may cause a dangerous situation for you or others. To reduce the risk of accidents (and because it's prohibited by law in many countries), do not use your device while driving, cycling, operating machinery or engaging in any activities that have potentially serious consequences. Follow local laws about using mobile devices, headphones and helmets. 

Radio-frequency interference

Please observe rules that prohibit the use of wireless technology (e.g. mobile or Wi-Fi). Your device is designed to comply with regulations governing radio-frequency emissions, but use of wireless devices can negatively affect other electronic equipment. For example, while flying in an aircraft or immediately before boarding, use your wireless device only according to instructions provided by the airline. Use of a wireless device in an aircraft may disrupt wireless networks, present a hazard to aircraft operation or be illegal. You may be able to use your device in aeroplane mode.

Medical device interference

Your device uses radios and other components that emit electromagnetic fields, and contains magnets. These electromagnetic fields and magnets may interfere with pacemakers and other implanted and nearby medical devices. Always keep the phone and its charger more than 15 cm (6 in) from the surface of the skin near the pacemaker. Hold the phone on the other side of your body from the pacemaker or other implanted or nearby medical device. Do not carry the phone in a breast pocket or in a pocket near the pacemaker or other implanted or nearby medical devices. If you have questions about using your Google device with or near your pacemaker or other implanted or nearby medical devices, consult your healthcare provider. If you suspect that your device is interfering with your pacemaker or medical devices, turn off your device and consult your doctor for information specific to your medical device.

Hospitals

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or healthcare facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Child safety

Your phone contains (or comes with) small parts, plastic elements and parts with sharp edges that may cause an injury or create a choking hazard. The charging cable may be a strangulation hazard for small children. Do not leave your phone and its accessories within the reach of small children or allow them to play with it. They could hurt themselves or others, or could accidentally damage the phone. Consult a doctor immediately if small parts are swallowed.

Emergency communications

This device operates using radio signals and may not establish or maintain a connection in all conditions. Wireless devices may not be reliable for emergency communications. While some jurisdictions transmit emergency information over wireless networks, your device may not always receive these communications depending upon network connectivity.

Health-related functions

Your phone and its associated exercise application functions are not medical devices and are intended for information purposes only. They are not designed for, or intended for use in, the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, monitoring, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease.

Proper handling and usage

Follow these guidelines when using, storing, cleaning or disposing of your phone:

Operating temperature

Do not use or charge your phone at ambient temperatures lower than 0°C (32°F) or higher than 35°C (95°F). If the interior temperature of the device exceeds normal operating temperatures, you may experience the following behaviours while the device tries to regulate its temperature: reduced performance and connectivity, inability to charge or powering down of the display or the phone. You may not be able to use the phone while it regulates its temperature. Move the phone to a cooler (or warmer) location and wait a few minutes before attempting to use it again.

Care and cleaning

Unplug the device and adaptor before cleaning, during lightning storms or when unused for extended periods of time. Avoid solvent and abrasive material that may cause damage to the product surface. Exposure to makeup, chemicals and dyed materials such as denim can stain light-coloured devices and accessories. Use a clean, soft and dry or slightly damp (not wet) cloth to clean the device and accessories – avoid USB ports and other crevices when cleaning. Do not use any chemical detergent, powder or other chemical agents (such as alcohol or benzene) to clean the phone or accessories. Don’t clean your device while it is charging.

Magnetic fields

Avoid placing any media containing magnets or that are sensitive to magnetism (such as credit cards, bank cards, audio/video tapes or magnetic memory devices) near this product or its charger or charging cable because you may lose information stored on those media. Media containing information sensitive to magnets should be kept at least 5 cm (2 in) away from this phone.

Human exposure to radio frequency energy

Like any other phone, your wireless device emits radio-frequency (RF) energy during use. According to the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), the critical effect of RF exposure relevant to human health and safety is heating of exposed tissue. 

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), 'Some health and safety interest groups have interpreted certain reports to suggest that wireless device use may be linked to cancer and other illnesses, posing potentially greater risks for children than adults. While these assertions have gained increased public attention, currently no scientific evidence establishes a causal link between wireless device use and cancer or other illnesses.'

However, above a certain level (referred to as the threshold) depending on the duration of exposure, RF exposure and the accompanying rise in temperature can provoke serious health effects, such as heatstroke and tissue damage (burns). To avoid hazards to health deriving from high RF exposure, limits are set in relation to the threshold known to show adverse effects, with an additional reduction factor to take care of scientific uncertainties. These limits are generally expressed in terms of the specific absorption rate (SAR). SAR is a measure of the rate of absorption of RF energy in the body. Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest power level in all tested frequency bands. SAR limits were first established in 1996 by the FCC in the USA and they were then adopted elsewhere.

You can find additional information about SAR at the following pages:

  • fcc.gov
  • icnirp.org
  • ec.europa.eu


Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL were tested and certified to not exceed SAR limits in the US, Canada, the European Union, Japan, Australia, Singapore, India and Taiwan. You can find the SAR values applicable in each of those jurisdictions on your Pixel in: Settings And then About phone And then Regulatory labels.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) & Batteries Directive

Don't put batteries in the bin

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires that all Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE), including your phone and its accessories, must be marked with the symbol of the crossed-out wheelie bin. This symbol means that the equipment must not be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. Disposing of WEEE together with normal waste may pose a risk to the environment and to human health, due to certain substances used in EEE and their batteries.

Under the WEEE directive, each EU member state is responsible for achieving a high level of collection of WEEE for treatment, recovery and environmentally sound disposal. Before throwing away your device, think for a minute about how to reduce the amount of WEEE you create. You could, for example, reuse it, recover it or turn it into artwork. By simply extending the life of your device, you will have reduced waste and helped the EU achieve its objectives.

The success of this EU policy will depend on your active contribution in returning your WEEE to the appropriate facilities dedicated to the disposal of such waste. You should contact your local authority or your retailer for details about the return and collection points available.

Specific absorption rate (SAR) information

Your phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It complies with international guidelines in relation to the limiting of human exposure to electromagnetic fields, and has been specifically designed to meet the guidelines for exposure to radio waves established by the Department of Telecommunications, Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Government of India ('DoT'). The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific Absorption Rate ('SAR'), which is a unit of body-absorbed radio frequency quantity when the phone is in use. The SAR limit in India for mobile devices is 1.6 W/kg over a mass of 1 gram of human tissue.

Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL (as follows) comply with these guidelines when used near your ear or at a distance of 1.0 cm from your body. Ensure that the device accessories, such as a device case and device holster, are not composed of metal components. Keep the device away from your body to meet the distance requirement. 

For Pixel 3a (G020F), the highest Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value reported for this device type when tested at the ear is 1.19 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 1.03 W/kg. 

For Pixel 3a XL (G020B), the highest Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value reported for this device type when tested at the ear is 1.18 W/kg, and when properly worn on the body is 1.16 W/kg.

You can also see SAR values on the website of the DoT/Telecommunication Engineering Centre. 

While most of the laboratory studies have been unable to find a direct link between exposure to radio-frequency radiation and health, the DoT has prescribed the following precautionary measures while using the mobile handset:

  • Use a wireless hands-free system (headphone, headset) with a lower power Bluetooth emitter
  • Make sure that the mobile phone has a low SAR
  • Keep your calls short or send a text message (SMS) instead. This advice applies especially to children, adolescents and pregnant women.
  • Use the mobile phone when the signal quality is good
  • People with active medical implants should preferably keep the mobile phone at least 15 cm away from the implant
