For Your Safety
FCC RF Exposure Information
WARNING! Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications (FCC) of he United
States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies.
The design of this phone complies with the FCC guidelines and
these international standards.
CAUTION
Use only the supplied and approved antenna. Use of
unauthorized antennas or modifications could impair call
quality, damage the phone, void your warranty and/or result in
violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact
with skin, a minor burn may result. Contact your local dealer
for a replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with
the back of the phone kept 0.79 inches (2cm) between the
user’s body and the back of the phone. To comply with FCC RF
exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.79
inches(2cm) must be maintained between the user's body
and the back of the phone. Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and
similar accessories containing metallic components should not
be used. Body-worn accessories that cannot maintain 0.79
inches(2cm) separation distance between the user's body
and the back of the phone, and have not been tested for typical
body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure
limits and should be avoided.
