Information about the RF exposure from FCC
• Read this information before operating the phone.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the 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 international and U.S. standards.
The highest SAR value for this phone FCC tested for use in the ear is 0.85 W/kg,
and when worn on the body is 0.76W/kg.
The design of this phone complies with FCC guidelines and these international
standards.
Body effects
This device was tested for typical body operation, keeping a distance of 1.5 cm
(0.59 inch) between the user’s body and the back of the phone. To comply with
RF exposure requirements of the FCC standards, a minimum distance of 1.5 cm
(0.59 inch) between the user’s body and the back of the phone is required.
Belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic components from
others manufacturers should not be used.
Accessories worn close to the body, without keeping a minimum distance of 1.5
cm (0.59 inch) between the user’s body and the back of the phone, and that have
not been tested for typical body operation, may not comply with FCC’s RF
exposure limits and should be avoided.
External antenna mounted on the vehicle (optional,
if available)

Safety instructions
TIA’s Safety Information
This includes complete security information on wireless phones from TIA
(Telecommunications Industry Association).
It’s required, for CTIA Certification, the inclusion in the user manual of text
covering pacemakers, hearing aids and other medical devices. It’s encouraged the
use of the remaining TIA language when relevant.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signal
Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a lowpower radio transmitter and
receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.
In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commissions (FCC) adopted
RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies:
ANSI C95.1 (1992) *
NCRP Report 86 (1986)
ICNIRP (1996)
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the
relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and
physicians from universities, government health agencies, and industry reviewed
the available body of research to develop
the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
* American National Standards Institute; National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements; International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection.
The design of your phone complies with the FCC guidelines (and those standards).

NORMAL POSITION: Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the
antenna pointed up and over your shoulder.
Suggestions for a more efficient operation
For your phone to operate most efficiently:
• Do not touch the antenna unnecessarily, when the phone is in use. The contact
with the antenna affects call quality, and may cause the phone to operate at a
higher power level than otherwise would be need.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations related to the use of wireless phones in the areas
where you drive. Always obey these regulations. Also, if using your phone while
driving, make sure to:
• Pay full attention to driving; driving safely is your first responsibility;
• Use hands-free operation, if available;
• Pull off the road and park, before making or answering a call, if driving
conditions demand so.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals.
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals
from your wireless phone.
Safety instructions
13
Pacemaker
The Medical Industry Manufacturers Association recommends a minimum distance
of fifteen (15) centimeters, or six (6) inches, between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker, in order to avoid potential interference between them.
These advices are consistent with independent researches, and with
recommendations based on wireless technology research.
People with pacemakers should:
• ALWAYS keep the phone at least fifteen centimeters (six inches) from their
pacemaker, whenever the phone is turned on;
• Not carry the phone in a shirt pocket;
• Use the ear opposite to the pacemaker, to minimize the potential interference;
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, switch off
your phone immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, we recommend that you contact your service provider.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult your device manufacturer
to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your doctor
can help you obtain this information.
Health Care Facilities
Turn off your phone in health care facilities, whenever there are signs asking
you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may use equipment that could be
sensitive to external RF energy.
Safety instructions
14
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded devices in
motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer, or its representative, regarding your vehicle.
You should also consult the manufacturer about any equipment that has been
added to your vehicle.
Facilities with signs
Turn off the phone in any facility where warning signs request you to do so.
Airplanes
FCC regulations prohibit the use of phones while in the air. Turn off your phone
before boarding an airplane.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your phone off when in a
‘blasting area’ or in areas with signs that read: ‘Turn off two-way radios’. Obey all
signs and instructions.
Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Turn off the phone when in an area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, and
obey all signs and instructions.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire that could result in personal
injury or death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often clearly marked, but not
always. Among the potentially dangerous areas are:
Fueling areas (such as gas stations), areas below deck on boats, facilities where
chemical products are transferred or stored, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas
(as propane or butane), areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such
as grain, dust or metal powders), and any other areas where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Safety instructions

Anti-Theft Guide
Set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it's been reset
to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your device is
lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google account or screen
lock information can use the device.
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
• Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen
lock set, the device can't be erased using the Settings menu unless
your screen is unlocked.
• Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but
you have your Google account on it, the device can't finish the setup
process until your Google account information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock your screen or
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset.
This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
• Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to
your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the
account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use
the device at all after performing the factory reset.
