free devices as an alternative is allowed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
• Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of
a building).
• Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do
not contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is
forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.
10
NONIONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-
use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas
may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and
SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance
with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone
performance and ensure human
exposure to RF energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the relevant
standards, always use your device
only in its normal-use position.
Contact with the antenna area
may impair call quality and cause
your device to operate at a higher
power level than needed. Avoiding
contact with the antenna area
when the phone is IN USE optimizes
the antenna performance and the
battery life.

6.5 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that allows
Bluetooth devices to exchange information over a distance of about eight meters
without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:
On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-enabled
devices, but not vice versa.
Discoverable. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your phone.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive
information using Bluetooth.
Notes • By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your phone,
Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your phone again, Bluetooth
automatically turns on.
• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where
using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.

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 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 interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harm-ful interference to radio or TV reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment on and off, 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 or television technician for help.
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made
to the device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer Corporation
may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Body-worn operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 1.5cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a
1.5cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone,

Appendix 209
including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not
satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
and should be avoided.
Safety Precautions for Radio Frequency Exposure
Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not
contain any metal.
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local
Radio Frequency exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power
is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of Radio Frequency
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety
standards previously set by international standards bodies:
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
Report 86. 1986
International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in usage.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
•

210 Appendix
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to
the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your phone has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use
of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage your
phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended
limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in
your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to Radio
Frequency energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards;
always use your phone only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the
antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with
the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your phone to operate at a
higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when
your phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified 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 operation 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. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in
positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required
by the FCC for each model. (Bodyworn measurements may differ among phone
models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). For body
worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use
only original manufacturer approved accessories. When carrying the phone while
it is on, use the specific original manufacturer supplied or approved carrying case,
holster, or other body-worn accessory.

Safety Information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep your phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when your phone is turned on.
Should not carry your phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your wireless service provider, or call
the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
phone to determine if they are adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn the phone off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external Radio Frequency energy.
