Regulatory Information
FCC Rules Compliance
(United States Federal Communications Commission)
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 radiate 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.
35
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment. The antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This mobile phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.
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 U.S.
Government.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known
36
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
phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.
Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of
the phone 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 poser required
to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at
the ear is 0.96 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
1.19W/kg (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the
SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
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 www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching -
FCC ID: YHLBLUSTX8HD.
37
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a
minimum of 10mm from the body. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance
with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not
holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of 10mm from your body
when the phone is switched on.
