It is designed and manufactured not to exceed limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientic organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientic studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age or health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
18 Quick Start Guideknown as Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC and CENELEC regulatory authorities is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the phone transmitting at its highest certied power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certied 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.Before a wireless phone is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certied to the FCC and CENELEC that it does not exceed the limit established for safe exposure. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear is 1.46 W/kg. This SAR compliance is limited to the specic accessories shipped with this phone. For body worn operation this device was tested with 1.5cm separation to the body. Third party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used.While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all met the governmental requirements for safe exposure. Please note that improvements to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases, products are designed to be within the guidelines.Additional information on Specic Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site:http://www.phonefacts.netor the CENELEC Web site:http://www.cenelec.org
19Quick Start GuideRF ENERGY INTERFERENCE / COMPATIBILITYNearly every electronic device is subject to RF energy interference from external sources if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise congured for RF energy compatibility. In some circumstances your mobile phones may cause interference with other devices. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Use only Firey approved chargers.Note: This equipment 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 the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the 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 the receiver.Connect he equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help. Follow Instructions to avoid Interference problems. Turn off your mobile device in any location where posted notices Instruct you to do so. These locations include hospitals or health care facilities that may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.In an aircraft, turn off your mobile device whenever instructed to do so by airline staff. If your mobile device offers an airplane mode or similar feature, consult airline staff about using it in ight.••••
