the software of the phone or your service provider.
Please, be sure to read this
manual before using your phone.

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
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 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.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation of
FCC regulations.
Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact your local dealer for
replacement antenna.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the phone
kept 1.5cm. from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
guidelines, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a 1.5cm
separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone, including the
antenna, whether extended or retracted. The use of third-party belt-clips, holsters and
similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of
accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF
exposure guidelines, and should be avoided.
WARNING! Read this information before using your phone

Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with
the back of the phone kept 0.59inches (1.5cm) from the
body. T o maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines
use 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 retracted
The use of third-party belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories
should not contain metallic components in the assembly. The use
of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not
with FCC RF exposure guidelines, and should be avoided.
Vehicle Mounted External Antenna (optional, if
available.)
A minimum separation distance of 7.9 inches (20cm) must be
maintained Between a person and the vehicle mounted external
antenna to satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements.

SAR Information & FCC ID Labeling
THIS MODEL PHONE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless phone 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 phones employs a
unit of measurement know as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.* Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC 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 model phone when
tested for use at the ear is 1.390 W/kg and when worn on the
body, as described in this user guide, is 1.270 W/kg . (Body-worn
measurements differ among phone models, depending upon
available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may
be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at
various positions, they all meet the government requirement for
safe exposure.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF emission 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 after
searching on FCC ID A3LSTHN255.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can
be found on the Cellular Telecommunications Industry
Association (CTIA) web-site at http://www.wow-com.com (see
note).
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile
phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over
one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial
margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and
to account for any variations in measurements.
