Regulatory Information
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:
36
-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:
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
37
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.
38
This device is complied with SAR for general population /uncontrolled exposure limits in
ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the measurement
methods and procedures specified in IEEE1528.
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: YHLBLUSTDC88LTE.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.62
W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.14 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
39
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.
