FCC Regulations:
This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiated radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Note:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands, and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head with no
separation, and near the body with the separation of 10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use
only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of measurement is known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device
transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone
is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: YHLBLUDASHMUS40.
35
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 1.07W/kg, for usage near
the body is 1.28 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they
all meet the government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a separation distance of 10 mm between the unit
and the human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level
compliant or lower to the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 10 mm between this
device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which contains metal, was not tested and
certified, and use such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
