you are using an electronic medical device, consult the device
manufacturer to confirm whether the radio wave affects the
operation of this device.
z Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation
of 15cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this,
use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not
carry it in a breast pocket.

Certification Information
FCC Regulations:
zThis 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.
zThis 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:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
20
-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.
RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This model 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the closer
you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power
output.
21
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear is 0.83W/kg.
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: QIST211.
SAR compliance for body-worn operations is restricted to belt-clips,
holsters, or similar accessories that have no metallic component in
the assembly and which provide at least 1.5 cm separation between
the device and the users body.
