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:

4RF 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 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 power required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station, 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 1.24 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.831 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements
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 of
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: YHLBLUVIVO43.
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 1.5
cm from the body. Use of other enhancements 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 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.
