FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
Read this information before using your handset
In August 1996 the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) of the United States with its
action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure
to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S and international
standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these
international standards.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of FCC
regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with
the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) must be maintained
between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt-clips, holsters,
and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Bodyworn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements and should be avoided.
For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov
