For more information about RF exposure, please visit the FCC website at www.fcc.govFCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATIONIn August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United Stateswith its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standardfor human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCCregulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standardpreviously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of thisphone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation ofFCC regulations.Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes intocontact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer forreplacement antenna.Body-worn OperationThis device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phonekept 1.5cm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposureguidelines, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5cmseparation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including theantenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of third-party belt-clips, holsters andsimilar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use ofaccessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RFexposure guidelines, and should be avoided.WARNING! Read this information before using your phone

T o maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelinesuse only belt-clips, holster or similar accessories that maintain a 0.59inches (1.5cm) separation between the user’ s body and the phone, including the antenna, whether extended or retractedThe use of third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessoriesshould not contain metallic components in the assembly.

It isdesigned and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits forexposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the FederalCommunications Commission of the U.S. Government. Theselimits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establishpermitted levels of RF energy for the general population. Theguidelines are based on standards that were developed byindependent scientific organizations through periodic andthorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include asubstantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of allpersons, regardless of age and health.The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs aunit of measurement know as the Specific Absorption Rate, orSAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SARare conducted using standard operating positions specified bythe FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certifiedpower level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR isdetermined at the highest certified power level, the actual SARlevel of the phone while operating can be well below themaximum value. This is because the phone is designed tooperate at multiple power levels so as to use only the powerrequired to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to awireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it mustbe tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed thelimit established by the government-adopted requirement forsafe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations(e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC foreach model. The highest SAR value for this model phone whentested for use at the ear is 1.390 W/kg and when worn on thebody, as described in this user guide, is 1.270 W/kg . (Body-wornmeasurements differ among phone models, depending uponavailable accessories and FCC requirements). While there maybe differences between the SAR levels of various phones and atvarious positions, they all meet the government requirement forsafe exposure.
