73  in the same compartment as your device, its parts or accessories.  FCC warning Statements:  1. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  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.
74   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. -- 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.  SAR Information Statement Your  device  is  a  radio  transmitter  and  receiver.  It  is  designed  and manufactured  not  to  exceed  the  emission  limits  for  exposure  to radiofrequency  (RF)  energy  set  by  the  Federal  Communications Commission  of  the  U.S.  Government.  These  limits  are  part  of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough  evaluation  of  scientific  studies.  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
75  phones  employs  a  unit  of  measurement  known  as  the  Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. * Tests for  SAR  are  conducted  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  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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is 0.169 W/Kg and  when  worn on  the  body,  as  described  in  this  user  guide,  is  0.365 W/Kg(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements.) 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
76  after  searching  on  FCC  ID:  Y44-S4,  Additional  information  on  Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Asso-ciation (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com. * Third-party  belt-clips,  holsters,  and  similar  accessories  used  by  this device  should  not  contain  any  metallic  components.  Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.
