U528 supports "Forward Lock", "Combined delivery" and "Separated delivery" modes
defined in OMA DRM1.0. DRM (Digital Rights Management) is the solution for preventing
the digital contents from piracy and protecting the provider’s interests. Here, the digital
contents include Java applications and the multimedia contents such as images, audio and
video. Being attached with the copyright information, theses contents are protected by DRM.
The DRM function controls the usages of these contents on terminals.
The contents that are forbidden to forward and that are protected by DRM (the contents
obtained by "Forward lock" and "Combined delivery" modes) cannot be forwarded to other
devices through USB, serial port, MMS and so on. They cannot generate copies on the same
phone either. However, the contents that are protected by DRM and that are allowed to be
forwarded (the contents obtained by "Separated delivery" mode) can be forwarded to other
devices in any way the phone supports. They can generate copies on the same phone.
Attaching copyright information may restrict the using times, using period and validity
period in accessing the protected contents. If the protected content cannot be accessed, it
indicates that the corresponding copyright has been overdue or used up. You can re-obtain
the right for the DRM files in "Separated delivery" mode.
You can find out the copyright information by viewing the properties of the DRM files. You
can also delete, switch and update the copyright.

Rules for Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
THIS DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO
RADIO FREQUENCY ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.
Your mobile phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When it is turned on, it
emits low levels of radio frequency energy (also known as radio waves or radio frequency
fields).
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines,
developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) and IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These
guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure for the public. The levels
include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and
health, and to account for any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for radio frequency energy
absorbed by the body when using a mobile phone. The SAR value is determined at the
highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the mobile
phone while operating can be well below the value. This is because the mobile phone is

designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
All models of Huawei mobile phone are designed to meet radio frequency exposure
guidelines. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested
according to the IEEE Std C95.1 – 1999, RSS-102, Canada’s Safety Code 6 , and EN 50361
and does not exceed the limit of FCC rule §2.1093, the ANSI/IEEE C95.1:1999, the NCRP
Report Number 86 for uncontrolled environment, and the Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 and
the Industry Canada Radio Standards Specification RSS-102 for General
Population/Uncontrolled exposure, and also does not exceed the limit established by the
European Council Recommendation: 1999/519/EC for safe exposure. The tests are
performed in using positions (that is, at the ear) as required by the EN50361 for each model.
The SAR limit adopted by the 1999/519/EC is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for this device type when tested at the ear is 1.02
W/kg.
The SAR limit adopted by the IEEE Std C95.1 – 1999, RSS-102, and Canada’s Safety Code
6 is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value for
this device type when tested at the head is 1.2 W/kg.
The SAR limit adopted by the IEEE Std C95.1 – 1999, RSS-102, and Canada’s Safety Code

this device type when tested at the body is 0.535 W/kg.
